What are these things?

Found these under the driver's seat when I pulled it out for a pool noodle job.

Funny taper on one end of a long, cylindrical shaft. At the other end is a small black nub, possibly plastic.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Dash removal tools with the handles missing?

Those are styli (plural of stylus) from a PDA such as a Palm Pilot. They have nothing to do with your car, but their loss under the seat probably caused the PO to cuss a bit!

I saw the picture and the light bulb went off, knew they were styluses, thought I'd be the genius to post it first

I was going to suggest harpoons off a scale model whaling ship.

I should have known, I found on of those (from one of my kids' silly games) in my car a few months ago.

Thanks!

I'll put then on Fleabay, one as a stylus, the other as a harpoon...will split the take with your Noblenesses.
