Sure Im off by a mile or two,but how about a caviar knife?

 

[bigfoot1]

likely the oars to a vintage model boat..especially if found in proximity to eachother..

Looks like a ladies bodkins needle from 17th and 18th century vaznzutphen

The only thing I can think of ...
Pitch paddle... like a putty knife...
For putting pitch in the cracks between boards on ships.

You know after looking at the pic again it does look like a caviar knife and here I called it a needle for I thought I saw a hole for thread time to go the eye doctor anyway someone will figure it out.vanzutphen

while my post above is a simple guess that these are oars from a toy boat.I offer additional evidense for that claim

1)if indeed found in same area,likely kid lost them both at the same time


2)proportions are ideal for an oar,even handle area is spot on..


3)I believe the markings on them portray cordage wrapping..

all a simple guess,but feeling more confident as searches for other explanations have come up dry.

Thanks for all the answers. Somebody could be right... I just don't know who.

i feel like i've seen that shape before...how long are they, what are they made of (lead?), were they found at the same time?

Here's our answer via TreasureGuide:
In ,my 2/12/15 post I posted a picture of a mystery item. The same type of item had been found at two different locations. I asked for ideas and received quite a variety.

After posting those pictures, I received pictures from Robert H., whose friend also found a similar item. This third find was accompanied by other items, similar to those that I've seen found on beaches before and also similar to those shown in this picture. The items included a small metal sun, moon, anchor, and a couple other items. One item found with the group of items sent by Robert was an object known to be used in Santeria.

I therefore did a little research on Santeria and before long came up with a picture of some the items in Roberts picture, including the mystery item. Those items were advertised by a shop that sells things for use in Santeria. Here is that picture as shown on Papa Jim's Botanica web site.

Notice the two items at the bottom. Those are exactly like the mystery items. Mystery solved!

Here is the link listing those items. They are listed as Yemaya tools.

I assume you found those in America? And for some reason that just depresses me a great deal.
