Those are a set of Chinese Butterfly blades, common in China & the Philippines up through the mid 20th Century. An integral part of Win Chun Kung Fu. Some of these came back with soldiers around the turn of the 19/20th century and some after WW2. Likely a GI bring back. If you're looking for value I've seen a few w/ GI bring back provenance in the $500 range.
 
Ok thank you so much I thought they was neat so I bought them i greatly appreciate it
