Top one is a alligator style pipe wrench.

Cannot tell the size from the picture, but it might be a hubcap wrench.

Agree with coolmercury bottom one might be a hubcap wrench for a wagon wheel type car.

What is the opening size across the flats?
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

You guys rock.

The inner diameter of the bottom one is 2.3".

That size would fit a number of the old screw on hubcaps.

The first one looks like it might have been hand forged.
