Description

Hello,I have 3 iron figurines that have been in the family for as long as anyone can remember. Most of my family is gone now so I can't get any more history on these items. The chimney sweeps are 5.5 inches by 1.5. The man kneeling on chair is 5x2 inches. There are no markings that I can see. I'm not sure what they are. My guess is that the chimney sweeps were used to extinguish candles. The paint is worn and they are heavy. Can you tell me what they are and if they are at all valuable? Thank you, Kathleen santos

These items are unique. I have not been able to find anything like them anywhere on the web. If you have any idea what they are I would appreciate it. I am disabled and unable to leave my home except with help from others. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
