I became the proud owner of some pottery tools called Kingspin. The devices are about 6 inches tall and have a round plate on top and bottom. they are hooked together by a pedestal that separates in the middle. ????????????? what are they for.

Sounds as though you have some turntables (that's what we call them in Oz anyway). They are generally used for decorating pottery pieces - the pot is placed on the top, and rotated while the decoration is applied. They can have other uses.

They're also called banding wheels. I use the potter's wheel for such decorations, but these do have the advantage of lifting up a pot so you can see (and paint bands or handbrush decoration) the sides of the pot you're working on. Brad Sondahl
