Table Dustpan - Made in Japan Purchased from an antique shop in NY over 30 years ago. It's a tool for clearing crumbs from the table. Unlike pre-war Japanese products that used high-quality silver, this item is from the post-war era when Japan was exporting to America due to a lack of resources. While not a high-quality item, it's a valuable piece that allows you to feel the era when Japan was rebuilding itself.
