These are three laboratory end supports. A pair would be used to holding a single horizontal rod or optical bench track. There is a milled "V" in each support to take the rod or track. A nickel-plated steel screw is used to lock the rod in place.

The base of each support consists of a pair of cylindrical, tapered feet, which are trued to make the support stand upright.
