Any information about these pigs would be GREAT!

[Rogerjohnson]

About 10 years ago I bought a house which had quite a bit of stuff left in it from the previous owners who had passed away. The garage had lots of toys and misc other old stuff. I have recently decided to attack all the boxes in my garage and try and get rid of most of it. Need to park my car in the garage for a change. These pigs were in a box and have no idea about them. Someone told me they are Hubley pigs but I have no background or knowledge in this area at all. He wanted to buy them but I was not sure what was fair so I didn't sell them. Seem too small to be a door stop. Are they a paperweight? Any info would be GREAT!!!!
