Those pieces are exquisite!How big are they?Miniature pieces(knives especially)fascinate me.I have a small collection of miniature folding knives with pearl and tortiseshell scales that were manufactured in Germany around 1910 or so.One of the smallest is a two bladed jack that the small blade is but 1/2" long and these are fully functioning knives.I'm enclosing a couple of pictures;I hope they're not too far off topic.
