Description
Purchased from an estate sale for an antique dealer who was selling the items of his shop. This pair includes a boy and girl sitting on oversized iron/metal chairs. They can be removed from the chairs and are in sitting positions. The boy has a red bandana around his neck, blue jacket, brown shorts and shoes, and is playing the accordion and looks to be singing as well. The girl is wearing a green hat with her hair showing on the forehead. She is carrying a basket with green and red flowers. She is holding a red flower with green leaves in her right hand and looks to be holding a red bandana, handkerchief in the other but I am not sure. She is wearing a brown top with a green collar, and multicolor skirt with striped socks and brown shoes.
Re: Hummel-Like Figurines
I didn’t find the exact same ones you have but from what I’ve seen online they tend to sell from $10 to $20 each. I don’t think the chairs were original to them. Here’s an interesting article about occupied Japan items sold in the U.S. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-06-22-9706220247-story…

Re: Hummel-Like Figurines
As Mark has said, no great value. The Japanese made a number of knock off copies of popular figurines by European makers, including Meissen after World War Two. Most of them sell for under $30.00.
