Material Note: This is a wonderful mixed-material set common to the era. Some figures are made of classic chalkware / composition plaster (which gives them a heavy, substantial feel), while others are crafted from early mid-century molded hard plastic/polymer. They display wonderfully together with uniform scale and coloration!

Every single piece features the authentic stamped, inked, or embossed "ITALY" mark on the underside
