missed a chance on these JPN figurals. Any idea on maker?

I passed on these at auction. They are 14" tall and I guess made early 20th cent? How valuable?

 

What did they get at the auction? 14" is a pretty big figurine.

 

I think $40 if I recall. Should be more?

 

Might be more retail, but when this type of figurine is MIJ, I doubt the value is going to be anything to speak of.

 

thanks for you opinions on them. I really like the colors.

 

Clothing is 1930s.

Flipping through some Goldscheider figurines on worth point and who should I run into? Our old friend the boy skier:

The JPN ones are apparently knock offs right down to the fabric on his gloves. Amazing. The Goldscheider man sold for 500.

 

Oh and now I see his female companion. The owner sold them separately, the female only fetched 300.

The listings only say "possibly by Goldscheider", don't they?

 

And they don't show the bottoms.

Is the MIJ mark overglaze? If so, it could easily wear or wash away.

So far as European companies are concerned, I would think Sitzendorf more likely than Goldscheider as an inspiration.

 

I just noticed her skis broke off, duh.

 

wow lots going on with this. What I noticed was that on the boy listed on worthpt. he says that it was originally part of a lamp base. And if you look on the ones I posted they have some sort of recess on the bottom; probably for fitting into a base or something.

 

here is one actually made by Goldscheider, its an ebay listing:

 

the ebay number on that is: 194480216861 (cant seem to copy the link w/o a page of goobledeegook). Its 6" tall and does show a Goldscheider mark albeit blurry.

another one is 10" at: 194469753450; shows the Goldscheider mark clearly.

 

But totally different, so....

 

THis is the 10" goldscheider boy, ebay Germany mentioned above . Designer Stephan Dakon in case anyone is still interested.
