Are these gravers?

[NYCLinus]

Hello,

Newbie beginner here with zero engraving experience but lots of interest.

I inherited a machinists chest full of tools that belonged to an in-laws uncle. He was a watchmaker, watch repairman, and engraver in central Pennsylvania from the 1920s-1960s.

Some of the tools look like they might be gravers or they might be specific to watch repair. Do you recognize them? Not looking to sell them, just to understand what I have.

I’ve built 25+ acoustic and electric guitars, some with a lot of abalone inlay that I cut and inlaid. I’d like to begin engraving mother of pearl to decorate guitars I build.

Two on the right are beading tools. Roll along for a decorative edge. Rest may be gravers , pics, .. modified tools for particular jobs

the top two fotos appear to have been rotary engraving machine cutters that have been modified. without detailed closeups, i couldn't say they would serve as manual gravers or not

I agree on the beading tools. The other two in the bottom photos look like burnishers to me.

In the last photo I also think there are two millgrain tools (on the right), burnisher (2nd from left) and possibly round graver (1st from the left).
