Good tip. Here’s a pic of just one of a bunch of skewers that my late MIL had. She worked as a travel agent for 40 years so I’m guessing she picked them up when ‘on the road.’ They’re maybe 14-16" long.

That is beautiful!
Thanks. I suppose I should check them closely and see if there are any identifying marks. Not that I’d be able to ‘identify’ them 
Looks like one of the Muslim hordes that attacked our lands and learned how to shish kabob

She was a tried and true racist so it’s unlikely she would have gone anywhere near “the Muslim hordes.” But I’m gonna check 'em out.
The skewer ornament is of a either a Turkish or Persian soldier
Thanks, N. If it’s not TOOOOO off-topic I’m going to take pix of some of the others. I’d love your and others thoughts. But not tonight
I was grilling god yesterday. So glad I tried roasting lamb stuffed eggplants over slow coals. Dad lost his mind.
pork spare ribs came out so so well like this… as did the roasted pumpkin and the little birds

Rad. What’s the purple stuff in the pie tin? Creamy beets?
Seledka v shube is pickled herring with layers of various grated veggies and creamy beets on top
Oh shit. Sounds great.
