ANH Droid Cleaning Tools

Question

I could not find record of this on the RPF, and I do not recognize these as found parts

Does anyone have any images or any background on the tools Luke uses to scrape gunk out of R2D2's crevices? Always looked like a large fingernail cleaner the tool in his other hand looks really unique too! flat plate metal looks like..

The one in his right hand resembles a hoof pick; but looking at the one in his right hand makes me think that they were just cut and drilled aluminum bits. Makin' outer space tools! Can't just use a Craftsman screwdriver now, can you?

 

[thd9791]

I originally thought they were levers or plates from underneath a turntable! That one in his left hand looks like all those bumps did something

 

[Halliwax]

Looks like giant door lock picks to me

[Halliwax]

So weird.. what the heck are they

 

[thd9791]

whoa, thanks! That one isn't symmetrical, it almost looks home made

 

[Captain Dunsel]

Holy smokes!!

Just when I think this Board has catalogued every obscure prop / bit from “Star Wars”, you guys delve into something like this.

Impressive.

The more I look at it, it could be the one from the first picture you posted.
