Letter openers

Letter openers commemorating the 1968 Winter Olympic Games held in Grenoble, France. This makes these letter openers nearly 40 years old. The metal band  gives them a touch of class.  The blades give the impression of ivory or bone but are plastic.  The pictures have faded & the floaty sections show the usual signs of warping.
 

It was at the 1968 Olympic Games that  sex tests for women were introduced
