These are Elgin balance staffs. The factory number is 861, "new style". There are a couple of variations of this part though, shown here. The neck of the upper part, to the left in this image, is a hair longer on the upper example.
The upper part is used in the grade 471 movement that I am working on today.
The 861 part come in "new style" and "old style", which are slightly different lengths. This is a sub-variation.
