    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    I picked this up today and tested it with my 18k acid liquid on scratch stone and came back as positive for sterling, though this does not have any markings on it, anyone know what it is ?

    Thank You 018.JPG 020.JPG 019.JPG 021.JPG

    Pity. Silver chopsticks are cool.

    Go back and find the other one, and you will have a beautiful pair of chopsticks.:)

    As a single one someone could still use it as a hair ornament. I have seen someone put up her hair using just a single chopstick, and it stayed in place.:jawdrop:

    Polish it up and sell it as a silver pin for hair. I used to use chop sticks to hold my hair in a bun when I had long hair :)

    While I am very versed at using chopsticks, sometimes a single stick works very well to just stab your food and proceed, however, this doesnt work well with rice or noodles. ;)
