Antique Questions Forum / Can anyone identify these old Figurines?

« on: July 08, 2005, 12:08:36 am »

Thanks for the response ginni. I have added a picture of the bottom of one of the figures to my website http://home.mindspring.com/~nowello/ although it may not be much help.
Unfortunately, the bottoms have some kind of resin or coating which hides the actual bottom of the figure. I'm guessing it was to protect whatever surface the figures are placed on. I tried to remove the coating but couldn't. It is rock hard. If there is a way that you know of to get this stuff off, please let me know and I will try it.
Thanks much for your help. :lol:

Hi there. I am no stamp expert but wanted to let you know I had a Minkus Master Global Stamp Album printed in 1954 that contained 2066 US and worldwide stamps ranging from the 1800s-1952 and was able to get $200.00 for it through Ebay. Maybe this will help you at least get an idea of what your book might be worth to a collector. I had taken it to a stamp shop in my area and they weren't interested and pretty much told me I'd be lucky to get $50 for it. Hope this helps and good luck.

I can't seem to find any information on these and have never seen any others like them. They look very old and have 3679 near the bottom on the back side. They are white and blue with gold highlights that have almost completely worn off with age. I have a picture at this link- http://home.mindspring.com/~nowello/

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks much.
