Does any one know anything about these? I purchased them about 20 years ago in a second hand store. They are about 2 inches high and it says "Hand Painted Pottery" on the bottom.

I've never heard that name before. Thankyou for answering my question.

There are a number of references to black minstrel figurines in the Black Americana category in Kovels'. There aren't pictures, so I don't know if they are the same, exact figurines. They vary in value - according to 2007 Kovels' - from about $60 each to $110. Do you remember what you paid for them?

Are you kidding? I paid like 1.99 for the set!

here is a little info. on Golly Wogs http://www.waybacktimes.com/Col_Golliwoggs.html

Indeed, I do think they're Gollys! The BBC version of Cash in the Attic often uncovers them. They usually sell quite well, too.

You did brilliantly!
Good Golly!
