Here's my recent thrift store fine. They measure about 5 1/2 inches high and a little over 4" at the widest point. Both appear to be rather old, and dusty...lol One is in great condition and the other seems to have had an arm broken and was glued back, seems to have been a clean break and not very easy to see. Can anyone give me an age or any additional information? I would appreciate it.
