Provenance:
Looks like the person who made these two pitons was trying to replicate two, similar-looking, Clog versions as they are similar to a Clog Blade and a Clog Micro Peg. We’ve got a picture (above) with the replicas sitting alongside the real thing.

Unfortunately we don’t know who made the replicas as they arrived a long time ago without any information. Flimsy would be a good way to describe them and it doesn’t look like they’ve been used, not surprising! We still love them though – timepieces.
