This unusual set of miniature mining tools are extremely well made. There are 12 pieces in this set. 11 are brass. 10 of the 11 Brass miniatures are stamped, "Tough Tool Steel", and "Frank Scott Sheffield". One piece is not shown in photos and that is a beat up wood handle. There are different types of picks and sledge hammers. There are a couple different long chisel tools or bars. The neck of one of the picks is removable. The two longest pieces are 3-7/8 inches long. The smallest hammer head is 1-1/16 inch long and 3/8 inch thick by 3/8 inch wide. I have no idea of their true age, origin or exact purpose. If you would like more measurements or photos I will be glad to assist.
