Post number 2 -

The two near identical pieces around 35mm diameter, the charming mouse/rat charm a little smaller.

Thanks!

@jeff, a couple thoughts as I begin the process of looking though your nine recent posts. First, while I really do appreciate you splitting things up into multiple threads, even better would be to post all items separately. Or at the very most, please group virtually identical pieces together. Also mandatory for this sort of identification work is to have the diameter or side length plus the weight.

With regard to this group of three charms, my go-to website is primaltrek.com. If you haven't looked there yet, it is a great place to begin your research into attributing these items.

My go-to site for identifying "Chinese charms" (and most of them do seem to be from China) is the Zeno.ru page: https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=513

They sort the charms according tot he classification in a Chinese charm catalogue, based on the appearance of the charm and the number of characters on each side. Your top two are unusual in having 5 characters (they usually prefer 4, or other arrangements with an even number).
