Founds these earlier today at a home site in Western NY about 30 miles S. E. of Buffalo. House and barn date to 1790 - 1800. One of the oldest in Erie County NY. Any info on these would be appreciated. Will start my own research tomorrow. Thanks!!

UPDATE....The toys are made by Benbros out of England. (Walthamstow in north-east London). Benbros made a host of miniatures with a series that depicted US TV series from the 1950's and 60's. The toys shown were made in the mid 1950's both drawing their inspiration from TV series. The 4 horse team would have pulled Blue Stage Coach and the others shows would have been part of a six horse team, possibly pulling a covered wagon.
