She underestimated the size of some of the tiles by almost two inches.  Here's some new pics.

Mom: Tiles vary.  They're not all uniform.  Back base is yellow brick?

Mom:
Thanks for the response. I wont be able to post pics for a couple of days, but the tiles are about 8x8. They are not porcelain and do not have any markings. They appear to be more plasterish, and are grainy, and off white. I believe my mom said the guy she purchased them from said they were from England.  They framed a fireplace, I can't remember if she had the frame and removed them or not, it was 30 years ago or so.  Anyway donkeys are pulling the cart, and a very small figure with a ruffled collar is along for the ride.

Hi, these tiles used to belong to my grandmother and my mom wanted to know what time period they were from. I'm thinking early 1900's, late 1800's, but I really don't know.  If anybody could help that would be great.
