This is a really cute set of wooden ornaments. They both have been marked on the back with what looks to be like sharpie or other permanent marker. It may come off with some cleaning, but I will leave that to the new owner as I do not want to damage the wood of the ornaments. The mandolin is about 5.25" long and the violin is a little over 4.75" long. Both come in their original boxes and looks like they originally came from Michael's Craft store as there is a partial price sticker on one of the boxes. Both necks of each ornament is loose and wiggles back and forth, but they are still attached, just want you to be aware of that.
