Default Mystery Adaptors

I found these adaptors when tidying up this weekend, I think they came with some Taylor valve tester adaptors I bought a few years ago.
Does anyone recognise them or know what they are used for?

Hi,
it is only a bad uneducated guess, but I wonder if these might be used to check crt tubes using a valve tester ?

I reckon Peter is right, one definitely looks like a CRT base. It looks like there was a plug in lead from the valve tester to the rear of the adaptors, one of which looks as it has had another base wired in at some time.

My Taylor has similar small sockets that are probably used for this function.

Thanks for identifying these, I checked the valve data book for my Taylor and it has the Brimar CRTs that are listed on the Octal & B12A adaptor labels.
As I only collect radios & test equipment, I will put these in the for sale section at the weekend.
