Ron,

the sizes of these tamings vary because these are dependent on the size (diameters) of the trees from which they were taken from. size then and now is measured by palm widths.

I agree that antique tamings are extremely rare because they don't stand the test of time like blades do. I think this is because the tree species and the portion of a tree were they taken from (near the roots) are highly susceptible to insect bores.
