<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4498164, member: 7360"]I am hoping someone will recognise these musician figurines which came in a job lot recently. They are about 7 inches tall, and very light. They are all stamped "FOREIGN" underneath which here in the UK usually means they came from Germany or Japan between the wars. I think probably German but there is a rather oriental look to the faces, and they could also be Italian, so I'm not completely sure. I haven't been able to find any similar images online but I'm probably not using the right search terms! I'm hoping that someone will have seen them before, or their grandmother had some . . . Thoughts please! They are incredibly sad looking, rather depressing![ATTACH=full]393214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393220[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
