Looking at the pictures I think these are carbon steel not HSS however that is just a guess, I will ask Clive to intervene for a better answer.

Hi Seadoo42...The tools you have could potentially be around 40+ years old looking at the style of handle and as Pete has said they look like Carbon steel...This period in woodturning tool manufacture was the start of when HSS was just beginning to come into use
The easiest way to tell if they are Carbon or HSS is when sharpening them the sparks produced by each type of steel is very different
If the sparks and yellow/orange and extinguish quickly then it is HSS...if they are very flowery, bright sparks like fireworks then it is carbon steel
I hope this information is useful
