A friend of the family got these as a donation for a rummage sale to benefit a museum. Trying to figure out what they might be. Approx 1" tall, British, hand painted. They got about 100 of them… Any ideas of make? Value?

Not certain but, from what little I can see of the bases they look distinctly like SAE (South African Engineers). |

Sorry: I mean brand, not nationality. Prince august? Staden? Britains? |

Don't look anything like the Staddens I have. Nor Britains. I'd hazard a guess at Bussler, due to the extended leg on the running figure, the base shape and the thinness of the castings, a hallmark of Bussler's. |

They might be Heinrichsen who did a series of Bavarians from 1870, see the few noted below: link In any case they are clearly 'house painted' flats and there are several editors who had series for 1870. Try also the International Flat Figure Society. Painted as they are (chipped, broken, etc,) their worth is difficult to determine |

Are they very soft and pliable? If so, my bet would be SAE. BTW, the SAE provided all the miniatures for the old tourist attraction "Confederama" that was located in Chattanooga. If they are SAE, they will be prone to lead disease. |
