Specimen #01107, 7/8/2000
Wingspan: 3.5 inches (9 cm)
Composition: Sterling silver wire, steel utility blades,
Swiss watch mechanisms
Comments: The wings are darker in reality, a dark
blue sheen on the steel. The circular watch body says "3ADJ
GLYCINE W.C. SWISS" and "18 JEWELS". Those three visible red
gems are quite striking.
