[QUOTE="lisabc, post: 1173337, member: 12743"]Hi all - I work for a retreat center that used to be a convent in the 1950s. We have several nativity figures, some marked "A. Da Prato Co., Boston, Mass". The figures seem to be from different sets. I did a little research and found some information about the company but not much. I also found a picture of a 19-piece nativity set made by them which sold on eBay in 2017. Mary and Joseph look identical to the ones in the picture except they are unpainted or painted all one color; (they are marked "A. Da Prato Co, Boston, Mass"). The Magi figures also look the same but are painted differently. They are unmarked. The animals have a hollow bottom and no markings. I'd appreciate any information about the figures you could share.[/QUOTE]
