Very cool! Could that possibly be for sugar cubes?

I have been unpacking some things into the new house and came across a box that I had not seen before. I am guessing it was my parents but I don't remember ever seeing these.

If anyone is familiar with old Washington DC, there was a great department store called Lansburgh's that closed in the 70s and my grandmother worked there until they closed. I knew when I saw the box it probably had something vintage in it, but hard to tell what.

Don't you love the old boxes? Wish stores did nice stuff like that again.

This is what was inside.

I know the middle one is typically used for grabbing pickles from tall jars, and the one on the bottom is used for cherries and olives, but the one at the top has me stumped. Anyone know what that gadget was used for? All three have mother of pearl handles. They will be finding a space in the new wetbar once I get to unloading dishes and such into it.
