I wonder if they represent some young kids/children who were popular in the 1920s or 1930s (or maybe even a bit later) either in a comic strip or in an old short-subject movie or maybe even in an old cartoon or comic book of that time period. I relate them to something like the old "Our Gang" ("The Little Rascals" with "Spanky") short-subject movies. I "think" the hat/cap on the little boy was/is called a "newsboy" cap/hat.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can imagine them being favorite lamps in a child's room back then.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
