    Swiss wooden carvings bought by my father in Switzerland in the late 1940s when he was on holiday there.

    Quite an evocative scene! Interestingly(?) I ran a campaign set in my own Helvetica, an island in the Sans Serif chain. It pitted the forces of Sauvignon Blanc against those of Riesling, with both featuring contingents of native lizard men (such are the vagaries of lost world islands).
