As shown 1 is 2 horse's pulling, 2nd is man swinging rope, and the 3rd is a man swing a pick. 1 3/4 " by 2 3/4 " very thin
all the same size, and made from copper. Anyone know what they were used for?
childrens toys?
Thanks i wondered how they used them. everything we have from kids in our family came from kids in 1970s or 1910s or 1880s. My wife was from the 1970s doesn't remember these at all, so the other years then, they were saved in a box. All the women in our house over 145 years saved everything, never bought junk or antiques.
I would suggest doing a search for Redwork in Germany or German Redwork. It might also be found under other sewing related searches but in redwork a design was kind of painted red on material. Let me see about a link to guide you along.
Have a peek at this link and it will give you a starting point.
