Anyone can confirm thoughts? Btw. they are very, very large...2 largest are almost 5cm (2 inches) in diameter... Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

filip Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 100 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 11:47 pm Thank you! Do you think that they are really old, or just have made to look like that? For being "old", I think more than 60-70 years old (not made in the last several decades). Thanks again for your reply! Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 12:36 am Sorry, can't help on age, a lot of Chinese flaptrap tourist stuff from the 60s on has that "applied" patina. They are all stamped, not cast. Chinese started stamping in 1909. If I were to guess, none are more than 40-50 years old, if that. Edited by Crazyb0 08/14/2018 12:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
