If you look real close they seem to be pairs of different size ones that what in seeing
If we could just find a pic elsewhere of them we might find out what the things are the box suggests eating Or gentry tools silk lined boxes were usually for that sort of thing it also might be something only used In France Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Dan Krager Sent: Monday, 23 January 2023 9:50 AM To: Legacy Ornamental Mills <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: a mystery Total speculation. Suppose you were attending a fancy dinner and they served a pile of clams or oysters on a platter. Now, you're not going to use your butter knife to spring them open, but this tool looks like a possibility. Clams open a bit when cooked, don't they? So, the idea of opening seafood is not farfetched in my opinion. Looking closer, I wonder why there are three sets of pairs in this collection. Does this suggest some sort of team competition for something? I've no real idea! DanK On Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 1:35:17 PM UTC-5 LILtwisted wrote: I couldn't help myself. My first impression was there was enough metal there to be heated and the multiple in the set would mean the others could stay on the heat until needed. That way continuous use could be accomplished. So the application was next. I figured that the shape would lend nicely to a seam. So I figured veneer or leather. Then looking at the tools in the picture, I realized that there wasn't any debris or staining anywhere so I figured not a glue application. So my next thought was a leather burnishing iron. My first application that came to mind was leather like a saddle or in the old book binding. Then because of the plane of the flat surface compared to the handle, I would think there would be too many areas on a saddle the presser would not be able to reach. That settles me square into book binding press and polisher. Now you know how my brain works, see if google agrees.
