Does Anyone Know

Does anyone know what the three stepped items on the bottom left of the photo are? How do you use them in your lathe?

Three stepped items

Those are jaws for a scroll chuck for the lathe. I can see that the chuck is missing.

extra set?

Metal lathe chucks sometimes came with two sets of jaws for a scroll chuck, one set for gripping the outside of a round piece, the other set for expanding inside a hollow piece to hold it. Not uncommon to find a set of jaws laying around.

Thanks for the quick reply and the info. I'm looking at buying a used Mini Lathe and those are some of the extras.
