Offered here are three vintage figures of men for model railroad garden or Christmas Putz.  They are individual figures - not part of the same "set" and were all marked "made in Japan". They are 3-1/4" - 3-1/2" tall in size.  One figure appears to be a portly policeman; another is a railroad employee with oilcan and the last is a hiker with red vest, short trousers and hiking boots. All the figurines exhibit wear and tear and I believe they are from 1930-40's era.  I am marking them as made of mixed medium - they are very hard to the touch and may have been made of rubber that has hardened, or they may be of some composite material before the advent of plastic.
