I thought at first ( as I posted earlier on )  that they might be boat fenders but they seem too small .

I'm sure they aren't fenders Bud, what's being talked about here is they act like a SORT of bearing to run the ropes through/over I don't think they look right... no experience apart from reading and crayon pictures mind.

They look like lead bobbins, they vary from 1" to about4.5" diameter and are used with a metal weight or follower for bending lead pipes.

Found these, they look similar.
