Can you tell what these are?

I found the metal fan blade holders at my local flea market. I just loved them. But what to do with them? Turn them upside down & have great towel holders. They are dated 1898.

It is sitting on an old hospital gurney but that's for another post...

Centrifuge Pencil & Pen Holder

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 12th, 200912 comments
