Hello, I'm not an expert, but I also have some vintage cocktail sticks. Continental silver is often unmarked, and must be tested to determine the silver content and value. They must be stamped Sterling or 925 or hallmarked to be considered silver. I have seen interesting vintage silver plated cocktail sticks sell for $40 for 6...and I've seen 6 sterling ones sell for $20 - 120...
