Anyone know what these are for? (collection, vintage)

[Fubarbundy]

Am in the process of going through various inherited items, and came across these:



Dime is for size comparison, these antique silver pins(?) forks(?) are really quite tiny...

[PAhippo]

olive/pickle forks?

just a guess.

[Fubarbundy]

Oh, like for a martini? Well, not the pickle.

[PAhippo]

I'm thinking more likely to get them out of the jar.

[Fubarbundy]

No, but close enough, they're cocktail forks.

Never would have guessed, thank you hippo!

And made in Mexico or a South American country for sale to the tourists passing through.

[Fubarbundy]

Yes, there are a few more touristy type silver items in this collection from there as well...



In need of a good cleaning or polishing, of course.

Hope these can be considered antiques, this stuff was all from my grandparents.

[miu]

Well... technically, an object should be at least one hundred years old in order for it to considered an antique. But you can considered these items at least "vintage".

[PAhippo]

and, I would guess, collectable. as much as anything these days are collectable.


You're welcome, furarbundy.
