[TheForge] What are they?

I picked up some items in a box of chisels at an auction yesterday and I'm
not sure what they are.  They are 1"x1"x 3 1/2" - square stock and look like
a cold chisel except they are way too short and are not fully sharpened.  A
couple of them were sharpened and  are mushroomed from being hit and a
couple more have a fish-tail apperance - as if the "sharpened" end were
driven over a round bar.  (They were obviously made that way.)

I have a feeling these are rock crusher teeth.  Someone probably tried to
use the mushroomed ones as a chisel but I would not.

I don't need any more chisels or hardies so I probably won't do anything
with them.  Just curious.

If they are teeth - would they be similar to jack hammer bits?
