Thanks Bob, I had no clue. When you had first said, "Whittled", I thought you meant they whittled them for the firing in the guns. Dah, I'm a redhead.... Now I totally understand and would love to see more. Did they make toys, etc. out of them? I'll have to do some research. Thanks again Bob and I enjoyed learning something today! Nancy
