Tiny Silver Animals

By Ashv, 22 May, 2017
Description

I found some very small silver animals while looking through my grandma's things that she used to find at yard sales. There are three elephants, two of which are similar. There are also two mammoths that are similar to each other and one eagle. I think they are hand carved since they are not exactly identical to one another. There are no markings, stamps, labels, hallmarks, or signatures on any of them. My grandma bought them at a yard sale as a group for probably $1.00 or less, I'm not sure when she bought them though. All of the little figurines are barely bigger than my thumb nail.

History
I was looking through my grandma's items that she used to buy from yard/garage sales and estate sales. She always bought little figures and statues, especially if they were elephants. I found all of these figures in a plastic bag. I'm not sure when she bought them, but she probably bought the group for $1.00 or less.
