Vintage 1950's Hawaiian Figurines

[trdhrdr007]

Picked up 8 of these little (3" tall) Hawaiian figurines at a sale today. What little I have been able to find out about them is that they are from the 50's and were made by Agnes Larsen. Only 2 have been listed on eBay in the last 90 days. One of those sold for $275. No idea if that's a realistic price or not. Here's pics of 3 of them.

Good eye, I'd have completely missed them.

Looks like it's the Julene Mechler connection that makes them worth something?

They go for between $220 and $400 all day long. Great pick-up.

Real nice finds, trdhrdr007. Can you post photos of any others?

I'll try to post pics of the other 5 sometime in the next couple days. I listed the 3 shown as separate auctions yesterday. Got a message sometime last night asking for a fixed price for all 3. No bids on any of them yet but I'm going to let them run.

Here's a couple pictures of the last 5 figurines. Unfortunately one of them has lost some of her hair.

They all look real nice to met trdhrdr007. My partner was born and raised in Hawai'i and didn't recognize any of the figurines.

I sold 6 of these to a collector in Hawaii. I left some money on the table but still came out very well. I also shipped out the damaged one yesterday to someone else in Hawaii. That leaves me with just one listed.
