Vintage Stamen and Peps from Germany

We're super excited about a group of vintage flower stamen and peps we received last week. Exclusive to our etsy shop, these are all 1950s vintage German and even more awesome in person. Glittered, dipped, fuzzy, fruity, single-ended, double-ended... here's a quick sampling:

I can't get enough of the glittery sticks in aqua, red lilac and more! They look positively sugared.

The realism of the shaped ones is outstanding. From the above three, it's hard to pick a favorite.

The group above left are meant to be lily stamen. Any ideas what the next two are?
