<p>[QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 4282795, member: 13308"]I picked these up at a thrift store a couple of days ago and I was hoping someone might be able to make out some of the writing. I was thinking about maybe downloading one of the optical translator apps, however I suspect the characters might be too stylized for it to recognize them. These look similar to the ones my folks brought home in the late 1950's, the wood has some patina. They are all about 2" to 4" inches tall. There is no writing on the bottom of them. I was wondering if maybe the writing was about good luck or something like that, as opposed to being an artist signature.
