It’s a bit set for a Dremel tool.

Are the bits tapped out of the base, or do they unscrew? They seem to be only removable with pliers

Don’t know, maybe a knock off set.

I have 3 Dremel tools and hundreds of bits, and have never seen anything like this, no idea what this is. Maybe a better picture and some more info, are these removeable, are the ends we can see sharp or rough like sand paper, etc.

It is interesting that the local expert world is at a loss. My my.

It looks like someone was playing around with scrap metal and dremel bits and made a funky piece of art, or maybe a key to some weird kind of steampunk lock. It's a neat looking doohickie, whatever it is.
Edited to add: Actually the more I look at it, the more it appears to be the back of an old American Airlines pin that someone just fitted with dremel bits for the sake of weird art.

If they unscrew off the base they are known as tips for Digital or dial indicators

It’s a lawn dethatcher made to attach to a lawn mower blade. Should be 2 of them to work. You mount one on each end of a lawn mower blade, set it up high and it will dethatch the lawn.

Could be dental bits from an older lab tool .... that's my guess.

There are things available that help in the making of jewelry by bending and shaping the wire. Could this be that?

Yes, they’re Dremel tools! They won’t do you any good unless you have the Dremel tool.

I’m guessing a technician left his wire bending jig for terminating telephone or Cat 5 cable in your box.

To me, it looks like it could possibly be a store display, where a Dremel, Ryobi, etc. tool could be fit to the rod in the back so that the available bits are shown with the tool itself.
Just a guess. It could be a doohickey instead as others have suggested. :)

I’m pretty darn sure it’s accessory bits for a sewing machine.

Likely it came in from an overlap from a parallel universe.

Not sure what they are but they do not appear to be Dremel tool bits because I do not see any teeth or grinding surfaces on any of them.

Rotary files and adapters for disks. The only thing weird is the home made plate to mount them while in storage. If the detach then they are useable, if not display.

Its a Wiskenliber Autoblitzer Filter key. Used on the very expensive model 6X1R with the hydraulic cantonlever donglemover. When it comes time to change that filter someone's gonna be looking for that!

dial indicator tips is the right answer, common tool in manufacturing.

A manicure/pedicure set of tips for a rotary tool on a stand with a back post to put your rings on when working on your nails. Some appear to use the typical barrel shaped abrasive tubes that slide onto them. In other words, a dremel-like rotary tool bit set/stand targeted for the personal care/salon industry.
Look up 'professional electric manicure set' on Google.

As some have mentioned they sure look like old nail file attachments.
Maybe one of my various sisters-in-law had one or my roommate from the University of Minnesota Law School or maybe the Puerto Rican male dance student I had for a about a week at BYU in their dorm as that roommate.
I have seen something like that before but cannot place it.

Possibly Dental type instruments?

Possibly Dental type instruments?Is the base hard plastic? Please show a picture of the underside.

The entire thing, base and all is aluminum. There is no grit or teeth on the attachments. They are not screwed into the base; they appear to be pressed to place. Some are tight, and some will spin. There is no writing, nor any type of mark at all.

Maybe something you picked up at a Villages Art Fair? That could be where I saw one like it.
