Brass Nipper - What are these for?
I recently got these (5 sets) small hollow bodied stamped Nippers and Berliners. The details are too good for just no purpose trinkets... Any idea what they might have been originally made for?

I have a tie clip from the 1970s that has those same elements on it.

These small Nipper & Gramophone objects were used on stick pins and chain tie tack pins and clips dating to the 1950s. Reproductions were made in the '90s. Details on P 3-82 in Nipper Collectibles I.

Re: Brass Nipper - What are these for?
Thanks for the replies... does anyone have a picture of the tie tacks?
