Oh how precious :mrgreen: She will be pulling the teeth out so she can use the pillow :wink:

As for the bottom pic reminds me of the thing I use to use to tighten the laces on my ice skates - the laces had to be really tight so your ankle would be held in place

I don't know what the last thing is for sure but it looks kind of like one of those things they used to use to lace up high topped boots or shoes. But I am not sure.
Cute tooth pillows!

The bottom was used to help button shoes. At least that's what my mom and dad told us when we asked about one, simular to yours, in our grandmas things.

Love the tooth fairy pillows.
I think the bottom item is for buttoning high button shoes from long ago, as someone else already mentioned.
I love old black and white movies and, when the story is set in the 1800s etc they use something like that to button their shoes.

What a lovely idea - should have thought of this when my girls were younger. Oh well much toooo late now. Maybe when i have grandchildren one day - put into my memory bank :lol:

Cute pillows. Looks like an button hook to me, too. I have one that belonged to my grandma.

That tool looks to me like the tool they used back in the 1800's, early 1900's to button up their shoes. My mother had her great grandmothers baby shoes (kinda like boots really) and they had lots of little buttons. My mother showed us how to use it. They would put the tool in the buttonhole, then with the hook they would grab the button and pull it through buttonhole.
