Coin silver pickle forks ?, J Holister, Hartford, CT.

Now these are cool. They are tiny at 5 5/8". I don't have a clue what they are. Everyone wants to call them pastry forks, and they may be, but I think they are pickle forks missing the knife. Whatever they are, I have never seen tines quite like these. They are in great condition with no dents or bends. They are marked "J Holister" and "Pure Coin" for Julius Holister of Hartford Ct. Ca 1855/65.
