<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 351346, member: 4727&quot;]Recently, I picked up these Amos &#039;n Andy items at an estate sale. I&#039;m not really sure what to call them; busts? portraits? plaques? Anyway, they&#039;re approximately 5&quot; tall and are painted cast metal, with a wire prop on the back so that they can stand up. Now, I appreciate how controversial Amos &#039;n Andy is today but I&#039;m a big fan of old time radio and, like it or loathe it, this show was an important part of early radio history. I believe these items are genuinely old but I&#039;ve been unable to find other examples anywhere. What I&#039;m wondering is, have any of the forum members seen these before, or do you know anything about them? Would anyone hazard a guess as to when they were made? I&#039;m thinking about 1930, when their movie &quot;Check and Double Check&quot; was released as they look about the right age for this, but this is just a guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts will be gratefully received...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BIMmdQg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZHKE8zR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/R1kWmW5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/N8Kx9z1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
