Default What is this

I recently purchased a 81 vette and found these 2 copper clips in the car. I'm trying to see if they are part of the car. They are 4 1/2 inches long made of copper with a red rupper tip. They have the following imprinted on them "ASSOC EQUP CORP". Can anybody idenfy them as a part of the vette or should I thorugh them away?
Thanks in advance

Can you post a photo? Makes identification much easier.

Do they look like clips for a shoulder harness for a car seat? Check your owners manual.

Somebody gets a prize, battery charging clips if the batt is hard to reach or get at, you'l have to decide if you think you need them based on accessibility. Copper scrap prices are good.
