Figurines

[Rob Fine]

Hello, everyone.  I'm hoping someone can give me some info on these two pieces, as I haven't been able to find them anywhere online or in any of my books.  They are figurines, with no other apparent use and are marked with the red "Japan" mark.  The man looks a bit like he could be Bing Crosby?

hi there i am thinking laurel and hardy 1970's figures - google and let us know what you think

thanks kath

Thanks for the reply, Kathy.  Someone else suggested that to me, as well, but the one with the orange hat is a woman so Laurel and Hardy doesn't work!  I don't know that they go together, necessarily, but they were bought as a pair.

Oh, that IS  Bing C Perhaps she is Ginger Rogers his many time dance partner

I love them!

Fred Astaire was Ginger Rogers's partner, not Bing Crosby.  However, Astaire did bear a slight resemblance to Stan Laurel, so it's possible the figures are meant to be Fred & Ginger.

It just might be Martha Raye..she always had her mouth open like that
