I have a set of 4 of these nutpicks with "1880 Parpoint Mfg Co" on back and have not been able to identify the pattern.

India - Turner shows it as circa 1887, though it might date a few years earlier; he shows two other Pairpoint patterns that were patented in 1883 as circa 1886 and 1887 (probably the earliest references he found).
