Set of 6 Vintage Dept. 56 Gold Tone Metal Pinecones

This Dept. 56 set has been in our family since 1976. I do not know if the patina is worn on one side from years of display, or if they were manufactured that way. There are 2 large slender and long cones that are meant to lay flat. The medium and smallest cones are round and sit vertically. The shortest cones bear the Dept. 56 label (VERY WORN, yet slightly legible) and there's an ornament hook. Some websites list these as paperweights, but we've always used these as Christmas decor. Large: 5" L x 2" W Medium: 2.25" W x 3" H Small: 1.75" W x 2.25" H Plastic pinecone jar I do not know what this set originally cost. The department store has not been in business for 40+ years.
