It's ironic that you posted this because I was thinking a couple of weeks ago about what a scene would look like with the animal going away from the viewer rather than the typical "portrait" style poses. It was a photo I saw that made me think of it and now I wish I'd saved it…
Those brass double ended pin vises are a watchmaker thing and could probably be found on one of their forums or at a "mart" that the NAWCC hosts from time to time. I have one myself and they seem common enough but they're old.
Edit: I just did a search and while not exactly like the ones we have, there are some similar ones made by Grobet and of course other knockoffs that are about 8 bucks. Ebay, Midway USA, Amazon all have them. I saw the very one I have on ebay but the collets are pretty beat up. Searched for "watchmakers pin vise".
