<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 340000, member: 3974"]About 3" long on each one. The one on the left is 8 1/2 ounces - one on the right 5 1/2 ounces. Brass or bronze - leaning towards brass because they are a bit yellower than bronze. A little nicer than the normal decorative brass stuff I see in the thrifts / home goods type stores. Haven't found any marks or signatures yet.... MAYBE a mark inside the opening of long shell on the bottom side - trying to get a good pic of that. Any ideas where these are from? For some reason they strike me as perhaps Japanese? Thanks for any input!</p><p><br /></p><p>~</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]114251[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114252[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114253[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114254[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114255[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114260[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
