Default CO Trygg carvings

I have 4 signed C.O. Trygg wood carvings from my parent's estate dates from 1958-1960 from Sweden (Fisherman w/pipe; Viking, Golfer and Sailor). Are these collectable items

I also have 2 signed Trygg carvings. One is a seaman with a Tam dated 1937 and the other is a sailor with a pipe...I believe that one is from one of the sons. How do I find out the value of these?

They get sold on ebay every so often. You might keep an eye out there and see what Tryggs go for. You can save a search on Trygg and you will get an email notification each time a Trygg is offered for auction.
