Thanks for the info.  As for the other one, it has notes written on it, but no brands or anything.    I'm guessing it is about the same age as the Jazzitha, and I found something that looked almost identical to it that was a Jazzith on the internet, only it had different coloring/markings.  I just found them in my grandmas basement, I don't know anything else about their origin.  Thanks again!

Good evening everyone!  I found these old fold instruments that are quite obviously very damaged.  Just wanted to know if anyone had any ideas of their origin, age, or really anything(should I attemp to get them repaired, what they were, etc)   Thanks so much!










Thanks again!

So, the general conclusion seems to be that its from the 1950's-1970's.  I take it the value would be fairly low, about $15-20



Thanks for the help y'all!

anything that is made of porcelain,glass,china..etc...will  have a ring when lightly tapped...with a metal object....if the pieces of fruit are solid..they will have a dull ring....porcelain will have a higher pitched sound....

my best guess is that they ate porcelain China glass etc(defiantly appeared to be a light ring). They are defiantly hollow.  Thanks!

They could be around 50 years old, really anywhere from 50 to 100 years old would be my best guess(still not 100% sure)

Thanks!
