Very nice score. The puzzle boxes usually have pieces missing, especially the screwdrivers and stilettos. Also most that I have seen are for the 27s, not many for the 15s.

I would love to have a scan of that manual.

I'm thinking the toothpick thing could possibly be for bobbin lace or a point turner, it could also be used as a stiletto. I put in "bone bodkin" in an image search and several came up as similar looking. I personally think of a bodkin as having a hole to thread the ribbon or elastic through.
