the straight-ish line across in the above image is about 1/8 inch long.

ok, here's one complete item. recognize it? it's edible. you probably had your last one at a wedding. they're often given away as favors although if you ever get an etched one, Let Me Know!!

Awesome! Excellent research. Can a paper or two be far behind?
