Side view pick would help and some sizes would need to be known AND I'm probably wrong here by a long shot but they look like mortising chisels to me but these could be 20' long or 3"....so….not sure.
A very, very, long shot-
This week Roy, from the Woodwright shop, used a foot powered mortising machine invented by the Shakers. In describing the machine, he said the chisel had a Morse taper in it. A neat machine.
That's all I can offer.
I had the same thought as Ralph, mortise chisels for an old foot powered mortiser. Email Ed at the Woodwright's tool store, he'll tell you what they are. Email is on the page below.
Looks like chisels made from old industrial air hammer hammers. I have a bucket of broken ones for knife making, really nice metal and it was free.
