A collection of novelty items comprising several miniature quartz clocks and a set of Russian matryoshka nesting dolls. The Russian nesting dolls are constructed from wood with a black lacquered finish, featuring hand-painted floral motifs in red, pink, and green, and faces with blonde hair and blue eyes.

The assortment of novelty miniature clocks includes:
– A gold-tone clock shaped like a high-heeled shoe.
– A gold-tone clock in a traditional mantle clock form with a circular dial.
– A gold-tone clock featuring a circular dial set within a scrolled frame. The dial is printed with the word GENEVA.
– A gold-tone clock in the form of a leaping dolphin. The dial is printed with ROYALE above the centre and Arabic numerals.
– A silver-tone clock shaped like a hot air balloon.

Most clock dials are printed with the word QUARTZ at the bottom. The functional status of the battery-operated quartz movements is unknown. A white adhesive label reading 302 is attached to a plastic stand in front of the dolphin clock.
