I am not sure if these are metal cookie cutters (which I doubt) or for some other type of project or machine?
There are 9 of these metal molds. Crab, Sea gull, lobster, fish, butterfly, bear, rabbit, flower and some type of round design. They are 2 5/16" tall but only bottom 3/4" has detail. They all have a triangle logo on them and are marked $33.00 original price each.

Can anyone help me figure out what these are?
Thanks!
Wow, those are nice cutters.
Since they're metal and *that* sturdy and detailed, I assume they're "canape cutters" or aspic cutters or vegetable cutters, or even fondant cutters, that were made awhile back, or were made more recently for those who would use them a lot (restaurants, caterers, etc.).
You might be able to find out the exact company that uses the triangle logo for their brand at a food message board, or by taking the pic to cooking supply stores and asking if they're familiar with the logo. They might also have been sold in Chinatown in NY or SF, or sold in the Far East, but those look like stronger metal that then ones I usually see in Chinatown.
Perhaps they were also used as leather cutters or just leather "impressors", or something similar.
(P.S. I didn't see any "molds"...only "cutters.")
