I found this at the Salvation Army. Paid 2.99. When I searched "antique ivory needle" I came across pictures that showed thread wrapped around the two spear shaped ones. I assume they are a spool of sorts for hand sewing. This is only a guess. As for the other objects, I'm thinking simply decorative plaquettes? I haven't taken a hot needle to any of them, so I don't know if they are ivory or bone, but I'm pretty sure, from appearance and temperature, that they aren't plastic. What do y'all reckon?
The bottom piece has a keyhole in it. The needles might be lace making bobbins, too.
Betcha the bottom one with the keyhole went to her sewing box!
