What are they? (pics)

The flat tool has a pad on the end that appears to be leather.
It folds out flat and when folded puts your hand right over
the pad as if to apply pressure. Its about 6 inches long folded.
It is marked "Burroughs, Kalamazoo Michigan, USA"

The scraper looking tool is adjustable to different angles, etc
by loosening the long handle. The top handle is slotted so it
looks like it could be removed and used on the other end.
It is roughly a foot long total. I didn't see any markings.

Royse- I know I did not answer your question as to what they are used for. But the link that describes the company that made them might give a hint to what these tools were designed to do.

The scraper is exactly like my Millers Falls scraper. Used to get a really smooth finish on wood, Lots smoother than with sandpaper of any grade.
 
Don't know what the first one is, but the last is a cabinet, or veneer
scraper, with an extra handle. Cabinet scrapers can save you a lot
of sanding, if they are sharpened and burnished right. You grind
the surface at a 90 degree angle, slightly convex (not quite flat),
then you take a round steel, or hard screwdriver shaft, and burnish,
so that the edge mushrooms over slightly, looking almost like a
capitol T. When done right the scraper acts as a plane, cutting the
tiniest amount of wood off of a rough surface.
 
Assuming it is Burroughs as you typed, and not Borroughs as the link pointed to, Burroughs made adding machines, etc. and are now known as UNISYS. My guess would be the first item is a tool or working on or cleaning the old hand crank adding machines, cash registers, etc.
