Beautiful examples, unfortunately I don't have much to add other than guesswork. I would assume just from the general shape and the fact that they appear to be early cast heads, I would venture private purchase examples, mid-19th, made in the likeness of their earlier cousin. That they are boarding axes seems certain. I know of no fire implements with hafts like these.
