<p>[QUOTE="drg642, post: 63842, member: 74"]The figures are about 4 3/4 inches tall, made from some kind of pottery, and jointed. They came together on the bench, but don't know if they really go with it. The hobo is a mess: loose joints, restrung, head broken off and glued back. The policeman has some chips and paint loss, but can sit or stand up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts at all? I saw some items called Victorian miniatures by Hantel, which are new collectibles in pewter.
