Are these old sewing tools?

Answer
Hello Again!  The item in the foreground of your picture is a crochet hook by Susan Bates.  The other item, I have no idea.  Crochet hooks are collectible but they are quite common.  Yours is probably contemporary (less than 50-100 years old) and would have little resale value.  But, I would check ebay for recent selling prices of items like yours to be sure.  I don't crochet  :-)  Barbara
