These are mostly one-inch long and mostly unglazed, with a few at nearly one and a half inches and glazed. They look like little children, are solid porcelain (Bisque?), and are nude figures as their back-ends show. They seem to be hand-painted. One has a red V on his chest, seen in photo four.
From what I gather of the note written on the old trade-card, these were meant to hang, which explains the ribbon around many of their necks. I avoided showing the almost grotesque look of that. The trade card's company I found references to in about 1920.
What were these little figures for? Luck? Warding off spirits? I couldn't read all of the card as it is in several pieces, which now rest in as plastic holder.
these are very interesting!!
Thank you, Sean. But to be honest, the paper item was why I bought them. LOL.
