Three sturdy metal (?brass?) handy items. As a child, I played with them to open soda cans, turn screws, and occasionally to pick at splinters.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Hi, stepcoach. :-)

I think you were on the right track using it as a bottle opener, although I can't imagine how you were able to use it to extract splinters.

You've only given us one picture, and you're allowed up to four pictures per post.

I was thinking a paint can lid opener, but a search didn't bring up anything like it! Bill :^)

billretirecoll, That sounds plausible.

There are three tools on this bead chain, and we only get a clear look at the business end of one of them.

Well, perhaps the one pointed to the right looks the same on the other side; however, I really would like a look at the other side of the one that points 'northeast.'

It seems to be a variation on the Vaughan Quad-Fold.
