I'm helping clean out the home of a neighbor who passed away a few months ago. 

What are these used for?

Small brass cups that nest together, the bottom (top?) appear to have been a striking surface but no damage on the inside.

Are those for grinding nug?

Brass cup weights? Looks like the tool marks on the bottom were to fine tune the weight of each cup.

That must be it. I found a third that was stamped 8. The two smaller ones are stamped 2 and 4. Looks like that would be weight in ounces.
