    There are 3 overly polished camels. My grandfathers. Just unwrapped them after transport to our house and am trying to determine value and origin, are they 100 years old or younger? 100 dollars each or less? They appear to mirror each other, exact same design. One is damaged below neck near front legs though

    Poorly cast and finished tourist items,unless someone really wanted them under $20 each or sell for scrap.It would also help to specify size on pictured items.

    I figured they were junk. They're not one of my grandparents better items you can see where the cast was broken off a mould on the underside . Probably Egyptian tourist spot now that I think of it. They travelled through there. Thanks !

    Brass sells well these day. Even if it came from The Bombay Shop that used to be in malls.

    I would try selling them first before tossing them. I know some sellers on etsy who do very well with brass do dads.
