    Hi! Just joined and I’m hoping someone can help me identify what these are used for? Little is known but they are stainless steel, different sizes and thickness. Thank you!

    They look to me like some sort of medical dilator (and if so, hoping they've been sterilized...)

    If they are what I think they are (see above), they would be quite the conversation starter if used as swizzle sticks :jawdrop:

    Oh, wow! So my first post was a real winner wasn’t it?! Y’all are killing me with the comments! We had NO idea what they were used for. My friend’s brother in law recently passed away and they have been going through all his estate. Here we are thinking it’s something of somewhat value. ‍ Thanks for all your help solving the mystery. I promise my next item posted will be a beautiful antique armoire (I have no idea the age or value)

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome, @an224 ! When you do post that armoire, post in the Furniture forum farther down the page! And also, use the Full size button so it doesn't show up as a thumbnail in the post.
