Anyone recognise these, they have something of Der Struwwelpeter about them, and yet are polystyrene so can't be any earlier than the 1930's, while Struwwelpeter is from the mid-19C? Also, they look like they might be identifiable characters, from some artwork or another . . .
. . . .even Struwwelpeter itself, I know there have been several illustrated versions over the 170-odd years of it's run? While the three figures are caricature-like, and the duck seems deliberately comedic, the rabbit and hens are really quite normal-looking!
For some reason I'm thinking Dutch more than the German of the original book, and while the French too had their 'sabots', there must also have been other books! Factory-painted polystyrene, about 80mm for the figures? Any ideas?
