Menuki question ??

 Dear Menuki knowledgeable NMB Members,

 

I'm in the process of restoring a Shinto era Tsuka. The tsuka needs ito as well as menuki replacement. I am finding it very difficult to decide on menuki, and have acquired several sets to choose from. (However, I definitely do not want to use some modern reproduction type menuki.) I recently purchased the set below and think the set would match well with the koshirae. I may be ok with with the menuki if they are at least Japanese Meji or Showa period.

Please inform me, if possible, as to the time period of these menuki. They are a very light weight material, tin, aluminum,  with two small prongs on under side, also with something which appears like a black lacquer.

I would greatly appreciate your opinions.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Dave M.
