These tools are apparently known as box scrapers or shaving planes. Comparing to pictures on ebay, the lower one is probably a No 70, the upper one with the extra knob, I can't find any info on. More research required.

The one with the knob is a #82. Here's some good info:
I should have added, I have a # 70 and with a sharp blade it does do a decent job as a "carpenter's scraper" (vs a "cabinetmaker's scraper") but I do find myself holding the head by the top of the iron frequently, so the knob I'm sure is a nice feature.

They're elegant tools without trying to be. And the Fine Woodworking piece linked above makes me want one. And I am not a woodworker by any stretch.
