Found these three porcelain beauties at a yard sale up in Madison NH. There was a fourth one, but it was damaged, apparently it took a lightning strike, and there was damaged to the glaze, and some burn marks.

Update: I have been informed that these are Lima M-2420's (Thanks to Paul Greaves for this info) The vintage of these beauties is 1904-1908. The two lighter color ones have a marking on the crown, a number 32 and nearly illegible LIMA. The darker one is unmarked.

Note that these have the "lily" or trumpet-shaped bottom shells, and that some of these have two different color parts.

There is a Lima 2420 on the far left side of [id=9581719; this photo] from 2001.
