    A buddy at work like to collect antique things. Recently he showed up with these to show off since he knows I'm into brewing but neither one of us has any clue what they are. Anyone have any ideas? My guess is they are for display on the store shelves; possibly on the front edge of the shelve.

    Very cool. Thanks. I also thought it was a tongue depressor, like you see at the doc's office, only beer flavored. Obviously that is not the case, nor would it ever be.
