Silver Tong Tool Can Grasp Olives?

[otisbg]

I had a customer at yesterday's show, bring me a silver tong with rounded ends - looked like small teaspoons. She said she bought it when she lived in California in 2004/2005. She loves it and said she uses it alot for crudite' trays and it is useful for grabbing olives etc.....She wants 6 more. I started in early 2008 and have never seen this. Does anyone know what it is called and does anyone have any?

Those are the old small tongs. I don't have any except the ones I actually use. Sorry.

Thanks Rae - at least I know they exist. she was thinking they were a West Coast item but I told her that our products are available country wide.

And if they do, buy them! One of the items that I wonder why they discontinued!!

I wonder too. I loved those!! I have one but I use them. I hope you're able to find some!

Thanks for all your help. She seems like a new good customer and I hope I can help her find these.

I have 2 in my drawer that I never use and 2 of the larger version - one in package - if you are interested in them. The open ones are all "like new".
