    With that hole in the middle, I wonder if they were for cutting and then holding rose stems?

    Interesting idea. They definitely won't cut anything thin like paper.

    Doesn't seem that Ebay seller is quite sure what they have. But, I would think the decorative aspect of this makes it more likely it has to do with food service and less with a medical procedure?
    Interesting page on sugar nippers. Thanks!
