<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 597510, member: 308"]Hi Kiko - not Fig but I can tell you that it was common for the backs of these to be left unpainted. These were mass produced and there was a lot of competition. The manufacturers figured that no one would see the back so why go to the expense of painting it? Usually these types of figurines are circa 1900 but I'm not sure on these. Usually the bottoms are recessed, are not flat, and the hole is smaller. There are more recent Chinese copies out there. Like Fig, though, I like these. I am anxious to see what Fig thinks now that the bottom photos are here.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
