    So the last name is easy! But the first...is a mystery! I am not sure they subject on these...looks like a bacchus running with a torch. Any help would be appreciated!

    I think it says Frank Horvath. This didn't come up with anything, so I am wondering if this was a mold and Frank was an amateur. The reason I think this is that there is an opportunity to paint details on the figures, and for some reason, Frank choose to use a uniform brown color. Just my opinion.

    I read it as Frank Horvath. Hungarians wrote the first after the family name military-style for a long time.

    Either bronze or brass. Not magnetic so at least plated.

    Thank you! These are quite heavy. Either brass or bronze. Very pretty
