It looks to me like these are hand drills for breaking rock. See more info at the link:

Hello,

I had these five items left at the entrance of the Chase & District Museum and there was no note explaining what they are or where they came from. I did have someone guess that they were to do with a railroad or maybe surveying?
They have clearly been hammered down flat at the top end and have been cut to a chisel-like point at the other end. They are also all different sizes.

Any help identifying these would be great!
Please email me at chasemuseumsociety at gmail.com<mailto:chasemuseumsociety at gmail.com>
