MarkMMA 86, on each piece

The Metropolitan Museum issued brass ornaments annually through the eighties, designed rather than manufactured. This is a complete set of four from 1986: two owls and two love birds, each marked MMA 86.

Cut brass and flat, so they store in an envelope and can't break. Still in the original packaging. A whole year's set turning up together is the unusual part, since most of these got split between siblings decades ago. Found in an antique shop in Woodstock, Connecticut.
