I've never seen anything like them, but I'm wondering if they aren't
some kind of peg used in all-wood carpentry. You see some of them have
metal bits married in, and in shape they're more like commonly
available metal nails and pegs than they are like lace bobbins! Can't
think what the spool thingies are for, though.

If you click on "view sellers's other items", he/she's got two other
lots of similar items, but one has a couple of wooden spools and one
of these things.
