    Using the crayon ONLY as a size reference...does anyone know what these sterling silver items are? A friend found them in her garage. They say "Metta" on them in script writing. They are not sharp edged so not likely wood or kitchen tools. Any ideas?

    They are antique ribbon threaders. I found a photo on ebay to show you.

    Thank you Lori! It turns out "Metta", which is engraved on the tools, is my friends great-great-grandmother's name. More valuable than ever! :-)
