Kathleen B on May 09, 2012Using 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?Helpful Reply

Kathleen B on May 10, 2012Thank you Lori! It turns out "Metta", which is engraved on the tools, is my friends great-great-grandmother's name. More valuable than ever! :-)Helpful Reply
