Mr. & Mrs. Punch riding goats. 8+ inches tall, $2450. The question is, why goats? and so far no one has been able to come up with an answer. At least , not yet

These figures are all very rare, $1500. each for the first two and $750 for the Landlord, who was a character in the French opera Mother Goose

Volunteer Firemen

Daniel, Saul and Balaam

The firemen figures are presumed to be Canadian, or perhaps American, but definitely not English. The 9” figure is $1700, the 4” example is $ 375. The middle size is the hardest to find, $1150.

Old Testament examples are $850 each, and are about 10-11 inches tall. Saul presenting is titled. If you are interested in New Testament items, particularly from the Alpha Factory, ask me.

Abe and the Duke equest pair

Large Ben Franklins

Extremely large and rare equestrian pair of Abraham Lincoln and the Duke of Wellington. It is much harder to find the Duke, perhaps because they tended to sell the Lincolns to the States, but I would love to know why these two were paired up as they seem to have no connection

Same mould, illustrating the frugality of the potters, but different titles. From left: Old English Gentleman 16”, $750; Franklin, raised caps, with cobalt jacket $1350; Washington, gilt script, a really nice example, $1500.
