The 4 1/4" faux riveted mugs are from about 1908 and range between $150-225 each. As far as the rest of the set - WOW! I'd tag that whole deal at least $2000. Nice set to see! Clewell's secret to his natural looking deterioration technique went to the grave with him.

I believe your figure may fall in with the various lines of "Black Cats" imported from Japan in the 1950's. The Shafford line sometimes unmarked have characteristic red bows,green eyes,white whiskers,eyeliners & eyebrows. Relco/Royal Sealy cats are tall & slender bow ties are gold with red dots. Wales have yellow eyes & gold detailing. Enesco cats have blue eyes. There are many lines. Your cat is cute with the big bow tie. Average Black Cat pieces range from $20-$800 depending on item.
