These specific pieces are from the pre-swan era, featuring the flexible metal spring coil tail and the authentic Swarovski "SC" block logo etched on the base. Because they share a similar body style with the early Swarovski mice, the "Mini Cat" version with pointed ears is a specialized find for collectors focusing on early Silver Crystal variations.
