My mother had some, and they were like a regular spoon but with small jagged "teeth" on the spoon edges. Very unusual, and some very good guesses.Deberahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004898544726857950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-60116578189388929132014-03-24T12:26:42.561-04:002014-03-24T12:26:42.561-04:00I agree that it may be for absinthe. http://www.ab...I agree that it may be for absinthe. http://www.absinthespoon.com/faq_absinthe.php?section=6&rubrique=43&boxtitle=0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-7812477905665560852014-03-22T13:24:46.715-04:002014-03-22T13:24:46.715-04:00My very first notion_Antique Absinthe Spoons.

Then when I realized the slots were twisted ti create a cutting edge I thought it was a butter curler. Another thot was the cheese grater that someone else already mentioned.

Some possibilities include:<br /><br />soup or stew 'strainer,'<br />something to do with baking / piercing (like piercing a pie shell or making homemade pasta?)<br /><br />Definitely intrigued with it and glad that you bought it - can't wait to hear what they are used for!

Are the slits sharp and open enough to cut? Could it be called a spoon grater. <br /><br />You said you "would be very, very GRATEful to find out exactly what I've bought" - maybe you already had an inkling (don't you just love that word?) what it was.<br /><br />Other than that, maybe it is a tool of some kind.<br /><br />Hope this helps! I have some inquires out to some friends who might have an Inkling.<br /><br />Have a happy day, Angela.<br /><br />Mary Janeamherstrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770869900528472512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-36540155939954098492014-03-21T12:28:31.600-04:002014-03-21T12:28:31.600-04:00My first thought was actually that they might be A...My first thought was actually that they might be Absinthe spoons? But I'm not sure that their curvature lends well to sitting on the glass properly, so that might not be quite right.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734609994028722301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-1155830967222595622014-03-21T12:11:09.639-04:002014-03-21T12:11:09.639-04:00I. have never seen anything like this so I asked s...I. have never seen anything like this so I asked several friends.
