Does anyone know what this is? I would have guessed that it was made as a whim, but there were TWO of them in the box of tools I bought. Help please.

I believe these are smithy (blacksmith) tools and are hoof scribes.

Thank you, Nanntique! That must be what they are, because they came from a very old ranch in California.

My first thought was that they are pieces of Barb Wire....or as they say down here "bob ware"
Some people actually have whole collections of it, but then since these have that pick like thing on the end, everybody else might be right.

You are all having such fun with this that maybe you can identify this one too:
It seems to be very well made, chrome with an older but very good quality plastic handle, almost like ivory, with veins in it. The back says indx 15.5 italy. 5 1/2 inches long.

It's a Neopolitian IceCream Sandwich Scoop used by the street vendors in Naples to scoop out a perfect rectangle of ice cream for ic sandwaiches -- note the hole in tip for easy gausti access!

The second picture looks like it might be used to make paper-thin slices of melon. It's obviously some kind of slicing tool, but it has to be something curved--and a melon was the only thing I could think of!
BTW just looked again at the length. Might be for butter curls.

The items in the first picture are 19th century medical tools. The one on top is for ingrown toenails. The other is for treating hemmerhoids. The item in the second picture is obviously a shoehorn for pygmies.
