Hi Jacquie, and everyone else who responded to this...
I took my treasure to guild last night, and one of the members
immediately recognized them as grape scissors. I've just "googled"
grape scissors, and the results I found were very similar to what I
have. Apparently, they were designed as an ornament for the cheese and
fruit tray, and all are striking in appearance (as least, the antique
ones are...). And judging from the prices I saw, I got quite a bargain.
Thanks for your help, Jacquie!

Clay,
I think these may be grape scissors. A friend has something very similar,
but larger. Why they are shaped like this I don't know, but I'm sure
someone will tell us.
