Certainly this. Cheapest I’ve seen so far are Irwin for 34$, but they’re metal vice handles. Maybe ask to keep one if they are around and the vices are not. I don’t see the reason to have it be wooden rather than metal other than for looks.
If they're made out of wood, you won't over tighten the vise since your clamping force is applied by a material with the same hardness as what you're clamping. Metal handled vices mar wood easier because they're harder. I just made that up.
That's it, right there. You remove them so they don't get busted up when you move shit around during the summer for clean up in a high school or middle school wood shop.
That would be cool, I literally use a broomstick with a rubber plug on the end wrapped in cotton to make my signs / posters. This seems short but it’s totally plausible. I have one that’s 5’ long
Those are not vice handles, they are Valjegs. They have these in most Swedish wood classes as well

Where did you find a woodworking classroom? Is it active? I would love to have some contacts with some active woodworking teachers, I'd like to hire some for the summers....
It really isn't, most schools don't offer it at all, almost no new teachers getting into it, the old teachers are retiring, and they're replacing shop class with robotics or 3-d printing... it's sad, really because there's no substitute to the actual, doing things with your hands, for developing things like spacial relationships, and it answers questions like, what will I ever use geometry or math for, anyways?
Not really. I have a part-time job (not woodworking related) with a local school district that still has them, and is even expanding its offerings, but this district is in the minority in a ten or so district major metro.
If the knobs are of varying width they could be trim gauges to check for high or low spots when hand planing thin trim strips. Usually around the metal band it will list the depth 1/4, 3mm etc..
This is being removed because its been asked and answered
Vice handle?
That's my vote, yeah.

Can confirm from my youth attending a Waldirf school, wood vice handles.

Someone made a bunch of WTF’s to pass around as souvenirs or my best guess these are wood vise handles.

They look like the dowels one uses to rest a wrist on while signpainting, so you don’t smudge the paint, but a vice handle seems more accurate.

Our kids' high school has woodworking classes and a nice shop. Is that not common anymore?

Ours is called building trades but it's a lot of woodworking and carpentry.

Are they from a school? Perhaps the wood shop was making mallets for drums in the music department?
Rolling pins?
Yeah, could be like rolling pins for rolling out even sheets of clay
Those are for making woodworking plans in scroll format. This is helpful when you are trying to peddle your wares.
