These are early 20th-century textile mill bobbins/spools, probably around the 1910s–1930s based on the turned hardwood form, metal-reinforced ends, and aged industrial paint. The wear, paint remnants, and utilitarian construction fit working bobbins rather than later decorative reproductions.
Dating
The most likely date range is c. 1910–1940. Comparable salvaged textile bobbins are described as dating to the 1910s or early 20th century, and similar examples sold as early 20th-century industrial objects. Your pair also shows substantial use wear, which supports genuine mill use rather than modern décor
