Default What are these?
Hello everyone! I recently acquired these carvings at a garage sale. The seller was an 85 year old lady that said they belonged to her mother...which may mean 1800's. She said her mom lived in canada as well as the midwest US. They measure about 5 inches in height. Hope that helps someone figure out what they are exactly...Thanks everyone!!

They look to be from the Anri company in Italy. They have their kind of faces. Probably a name for the set, but I don't know it. Group of musicians, and probably very collectible.

Good luck, Tom
