Pencil Lobster Spoon

All three items were found in a miscellaneous tray of objects in a lovely antique market in the old Ruthin Cinema. they are not related, but sit well together. The special lobster eating fork/spoon isn't something I have ever seen before, but after a little bit of research on the internet I have discovered it is called a "Lobster Pick".
The "spoon" is telescopic..and has a bit missing...some more internet researching is needed there.
