The lot further includes a miniature lidded pewter-toned stein with a functional hinged top, a metal trinket box fashioned in the shape of a traditional clog or shoe, and a pair of darkened metal wick trimmer scissors with an integrated snuff box. The items represent a cross-section of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative collectibles and functional curiosities. Stein height approx. 6.5 cm (2.5 inches); Wick trimmers length approx. 13 cm (5 inches); Figurines height approx. 2.5-4 cm (1-1.5 inches).
