He showed me how you take them apart and then you can store your thread and needles inside them, as well as use the thimble that serves as the collar around their necks.

The blue one nods perfectly, when given a tap. The orange one moves but not as well. They are both marked Germany on the bottom and appear to be made of porcelain or china, I don't know which.
