Historical information

These utensils appear to be vintage kitchen tools, likely from the early to mid-20th century. The rust and patina suggest prolonged exposure to moisture or age-related oxidation. Such tools were commonly used in home and commercial kitchens for cooking, straining liquids, and draining fried foods. The presence of a wooden handle on the strainer indicates a more traditional manufacturing style before plastic became widely used in kitchenware. These items may have been part of a household or a communal kitchen, possibly from a rural or historical setting.
