The two white pieces are lead doll shoes. You can see the eyelets on the front of each of them. One of the pocket knives is very unusual, and the flat piece was patented April 14th 1891. I don't know what the decorative piece is.

I think that one knife is a skinning knife. For when trapping was a popular sport and you didn't take the entire animal home with ya. That's a while ago.

Thanks, I had an idea it might have been something like that.

Does anyone know where I can find info on the lead shoes.
