Thanks all.  I couldn't find the same set described, but generically 
"for jewelry work, dollhouse miniatures, wooden toys, military models, 
railroad models and furniture finials Great for miniature size lathe 
turnings in soft metals, wood or plastic."

Mini lathe tools are generally a set of tiny gouges, skews, parting 
tools, etc.  I thought these might have been advertised for a specific 
task since they are all scraper profiles.  Anyway, at $30  I couldn't 
pass them up.  I think they will be useful for working faux ivory 
finials, screw arm tips, or brass knobs for my plane pursuits.

Oh, mine are nicely new.  I was too lazy to take a picture so I grabbed 
one off the *bay.  And, yes Kirk, pretty much same as yours but no box.

Thanks
