Page 161 says that the young lad and girl were made during the Orzel era.
Do they have any stamps on them at all?

The Fortune Teller, Titian Studios

Post  HeatherT on Sun 6 Sep - 21:05

Manos had his figurines looked at today by a close contact to the Brown family. He was told that the Fortune Teller was one of the first complete Cameron Brown design figurines. His wife, Dorothy, sat for hours in a long dress so that he could perfect the way the skirt fell. This was made in the early 1950s.

The first two or three figurines ever made had real ear-rings but they were so small and fiddly he soon abandoned that and drew them in instead.
