Light-Bulb/Pear Shaped Handles

These handles have a large diameter near the top of the handle and taper at differing rates to the smallest diameter at the ferrule or pick.  Some of these tools may have been identified as a scratch awl or scribe; however, they were probably used as an ice pick as well.
