Two Meissen Figurines - cellist and autoharp player

By katattackmaximus, 21 August, 2011
Description

 Hi there - I have two early Meissen figures that belonged to my great grandmother. Two girls - one with an autoharp, one with a cello. The top of the cello looks like it was damaged at some point and has been repaired. The auto harp figurine is perfect. They're both around 4.5 inches tall. I have photos.

Markings on autoharp player: "2559" engraved, "85." in ink, blue Meissen swords in ink. 

Markings on the cellist: "25." in ink, Meissen swords, and a price tag for $625. 

These were purchased in the mid 80s at the very latest, but probably during the 60s or 70s. I'm curious about how much they may be worth.
