Hi all,In cleaning out some of dear-departed MIL's stuff, we ran across sometools, which we thought might be stitching tools. I've posted 4 newpics on my webshots album's the 2nd to the last are on an 8 1/2x11 sheet of paper, to give you an idea of theirsize. The wooden one (about 7" long) is very smooth and tapers thesame at each end but the tapers are going opposite ways (ACK! I can'treally figure out how to describe it!). The steel one, iirc, is thesame thickness the entire length.Anyone have a clue what these might be?Joan

Not sure about the wood item unless it is 1 of a set of4 knitting needles...just a guess.Anyone else?Naomah

Yes Joan, KS6320 is the old "Bell System" stock # of the tool. I still have 6 or 8 of them at work. The new ones are made of plastic and no longer have a "KS" number.

I'll bet those get lots of use for purposes they weren't intended for... C

Well, I guess I'll give this tool to DH. He can either use it or put it on the "phone wall" he's planning. DFIL had a number of ooooooold phones at his place. DH brought them home and is planning on displaying them on a wall with part of an old telephone pole & glass insulators.

Thanks for the help, Richard. I *knew* someone would be able to identify it, eventually.
