2 Figurine Appraisals

Profile picture for user 62JoA48

Description

These figurines have been in my family for 6+ generations.  They originated in England and both have the number/date 1578 on the back of them.  They are both hollow and are trimmed out in 18 carat gold.  Their eyes are a bright blue and I have no idea what exactly you need more of.  I took pictures and am enclosing them.

 

My mother, unfortunately, did not leave a written description for me as she had many antiques and these were her favorites.  Like most of us, she believed she had 'time' to do so and simply ran out of it. 

 

I would like to sell them if I can get a good price for them.  Having no idea what that would be, I'm trusting in your ability to give me an accurate appraisal so I can decide what to do with them as I am downsizing.  Thank you!
