I believe they were inserted specifically for this purpose and the entire book was hand-stiched together by its creator

to which the legs and tail have each been attached by nails (with the nail attached to the tail left loose enough to allow the tail to move from side to side

Finely Carved Blonde Wood Whimsy Chain with End Hooks - Smaller of Two brooch 2 7/8" across at widestThis is the second of two small vintage carved whimsy chains with end hooks I am listing by the same maker, I believe this one with especially tiny (5 8 inch!) links. (How does one do this??!!) The two ends hook together nicely should one want to wear it as a bracelet; this one fits my wrist perfectly and I must say is pretty fun to wear. I don't think it is especially old but quite nicely done and certainly not made yesterday. 8 1 2" long x 7 8" at
