As far as I know they are early to mid 1800.

They were supposedly bought by a family member who was a captain on one of the old "Clipper" ships.
That part of the family lived on an island in Denmark named Bornholm up until about 1860.

That is all I remember being told about them but then again, it could also just have been a tale by my grandmother who claimed she got them from her mother who got them from her mother who was married to the captain.

I have uploaded two pictures of them.

I am considering selling them, that is why I am asking.
