    Awesome I love these cats which started out as three
    I gave one to a friend for good luck
    Since then I have wandered if they were special.
    I don't know what they are made from. They appear to be extremely old.
    No marks that I see
    Their is a open hole on the bottom
    Does that mean they are pre Columbia or Indian artifact
    I need your help if you have a lead on these cats
    They are 4 inch and three inch tall

      The hole in the bottom has nothing to do with who made them or where they may have originated. These cats aren't artifacts, aren't very old and weren't made by Native Americans and are not Pre-Columbian.

      These are black pottery molded cat figures, maker unknown. Scroll down the page to see the full set. There are four photos.

      efegirl thanks
      some people have the knac to find a reference
      I am very much thankful to you
      now that article states as little as possible except they are vintage
      i think there is more than meets the eye
      anyway i now am able to see a little light
