I found these really great tool charm that actually move! I thought they were perfect for steampunking! First, a little bit of history: the Gries Reproducer Corporation operated out of New York and from the 1950s to 1960s ran giveaways of tool charms (like these) in Cracker Jacks! Pretty neat, huh? The pliers are perhaps my favorite since I do work with them often myself. I made a cute pair of earrings for my mom & I.
The scissors are cute too! They remind me of a steamstress!
And last, but not least, the pocketknife which is by far the most intricate & dainty. Here's what I made with them!
I just love gearrings--especially gearrings that appeal to the airship mechanic & tinkerer in all of us!
