All I know is they are very old. Any insight would be appreciated. The black one is a wind up and works. If anyone would like more detailed pictures or the info I do have please drop me a note. Thank you!

Hi Windy,

What a fun collection! They mostly look to be from the 1950s, or maybe 1940s. The two on the front right (with the integrated ears) look like a kind known as "big-shouldered", I believe, and were probably made in Japan.

Is the wind-up bear made from rabbit fur? What does it do?

Thanks for the reply. The black one walks and it's head moves from side to side, it really is neat to see. Sticker has a monkey face a red M and a black 5 and says West German. Hard to tell what the material is.
