Looks more Satsuma than Imari to me, but I know next to nothing about china.
Not unique. Very few things are actually unique, many things are unusual.
The business ends might give an idea if they had ever been used. You may have discovered Maxwell's silver hammer. [MEDIA]
Could be a dining room table from here. Shift the clutter off it, move it away from the window so the light is on it not behind it and photograph...
The clue here is the Brinell hardness scale. I suspect these are a set of tips for hardness testing.
The square hole represents the old brass 'cash' coins, but I have had many old Mah Jongg sets and always with the bamboo strip money. Modern sets...

Whatever you do, keep the spoon, that is very odd. Does the tree like symbol have tiny letters c and s beside it? Could stand for Case Silver,...
I agree, it is a boar. Quite common in armorials.
Acetone probably won't help, boiling them in water might.
