 Passed a yard sale today while cruising the back roads. Older guy died and the wife is selling off lots of his stuff...sale started on Thursday so not much was left today. I saw these sitting in the garage and was looking at one and saw it was dated 1955 in the cement cast. Kind of thought the small one with the red hat was cool...so I asked what she wanted. She said nobody gave them a second look so it was buy one get five free. Pretty neat that some of them have hand written notes on the bottom with the address they were at in the 1940s. |

I think all are original paint with the one exception being the one that looks the newest in the picture. That one has some wear but was probably repainted at one point. |

OP is clearly an insensitive, racist bastard. You need to immediately destroy these items and disavow any knowledge of their existence. Or, just put pictures of them on Facebook and let the butthurt flow. |

It looks like newly cast newly painted ones go for about 80 shipped on ebay. With a date and original paint I bet double.
I flip them all and keep the little dude in the hat. Hes cool. |

My grandparents had a very nice pair of them. When they passed my evil bitch aunt took them. I'm sure she sold them as she doesn't collect antiques. There are several in my area, most have been pc painted. Eta, nice find op. |
