Re: hobo
The Crossed Arrow mark along with number and letter combinations was used by the Arnart company, who imported decorative porcelain from all over Europe and Japan after World War Two. Arnart used paper and foil labels on their pieces, which were often removed after sale, making them appear to be European late 19th Century examples because of the lack of "country of origin" marks. Values for Arnart figurines are very modest, in the current market comparable 20th Arnart figurines sell in the $20.00- $30.00 range.
