My grandmother recently passed away and we found these utensils in her house. Unfortunately we do not know anything about them.

Re: SBF Siam Utensils

These Siam utensils, many from complete sets, were sent or brought to America during and after WW-II. They are hand made of bronze ( actually called BRONZE.WARE ), with handles made from horn. I can't help you with a value, especially since the market for everything is down.

Re: SBF Siam Utensils

I have a complete set. My grandmother got her's during the Vietnam War. My Uncle was over there at the time and sent her a set. They came in a velvet lined wood box. I still have her's, but I have no idea what there worth.

Re: SBF Siam Utensils

I too have a complete set that needs cleaning. I am curious as to what to use safely. Any idea of the value since your last post?

Re: SBF Siam Utensils

My siblings and I are likewise cleaning out our Mother's house and found two Willy bronze-ware utensils exactly like these except they have small ball ends....almost like chopstick ends except they are not the same length....any idea what they could be used for ?

They are geisha hair sticks to hold a hair bun in place. They came in sets of three.
