The common name for the little strawberries (and other less common shapes) was actually an 'emery.' they used to be made in all sorts of fancy and decorated shapes...

http://store.berryhillheirlooms.com/senopa.html check out the new versions and some of the antique versions... how about a 'thimble pip?' that was discussed on this site and i had never heard of that term... it was apparently to store the thimble in...probably in a time when they were expensive and of course, so small as to be easily lost...
