For what it's worth here's my idea.
I can't say this is correct it's just what I see.
I think it is some sort of setting or maintenance tool for mill work, I'm thinking cloth type of mill.
The curved object looks to fit onto a shaft, the other end however whilst pointed isn't a cutting point. I feel that it's shape allows it to go around a cylinder, spool or chuck type of arrangement with the "point" locating into a hole thus providing some sort of safety brake.
The tool with the handle also looks to have no cutting edge so I feel this tool is used to grasp a thread (or wire) to pull it. The bottom tools are variants of the handled tool and the spanner is, well , a spanner.
I may be wildly off the mark but it is at least fun to try and work it out. Oh and thanks for the info about what was stamped on the tools although it wasn't any help.

Thankyou very much for your idea, I will keep it in mind, you could be right. I put another photo in the post of instruction that came with the tools, I should have put it in from the start, OOPs

Looking at the picture you have now posted of the instructions, I reckon
Bodgeit and scarper is spot on with his great guess.

Yes the instructions do rather give it away.
Good guess by Bodgeit tho. without the aid of the second pic.

Yeah, My fault on the photo. I'll go with typewriter tools unless I am told otherwise, Thanks to all!
Concur, Typewriter tool kit! curved piece fitting into reference hole in every striker arm, claw like tool used to bend letters to achieve even strike on plattern, there are two crow's foot spanners for tappet adjustement.

So does that mean they aren't a toolkit for removing boy scouts from horses hooves?
P.S. Olympia was a well-known make of German typewriter
Could I have a postal borrow of these tools, what much to ship to Bingley?
I have an old typewriter than needs attention.
