I'll take them. Kidding aside, are they pot holders that fit on the fiddles of your stove? One on each side of a pot to hold them secure while underway and the stove is free on it's gimbled mount.

Hard to see from the photo but might be clamps that go on the stove top to hold pots and keep them from falling off in rough seas. Do you have a stove with a little fence around the sides? Will these clamp on it?

Oh ****, you guys are a trip... The stove does have a slot for a rail, but there's no rail to be found. I'll hold on to these until I can find a proper rail. These will definitely come in handy

They look like toast racks, You put a slice of bread on them and toast it over the flames on the stove.
Other than that, No idea.

Also check your boat for unclaimed children while you are at it.
