i found these today at a second-hand store. i imagine that AE 92 means they were made in 1992. i have no idea what 'MINTZ' is, but maybe the artist? i've been finding interesting S & P shakers lately!
I have a Mintz girl figurine its German so maybe yours is too.
thank you GeodeJem!
LOL the stuff you come home with... :-)
So true, the things one finds on our treasure hunts! I would have scooped these up! :)
What a cack! Love these.
That is for sure a "German Brown Trout"! Love him or her!!!

Very cool Ho2! Have you ever seen those fake alligators with only the top half and bottom half floating in a pool as if partially submerged? I wonder if this is similar. In pic 1, if you turn the head facing the other direction as in pic 4, it gives the illusion of the fish jumping out of the water with only the head and tail visible... just a thought. http://postimg.org/image/nm7bh1qch/
thanks Rick55. that is the idea!
