Made by the San Francisco Music box company, Ruth Ninneman. This resin musical sentiment states on the front "Of all the many things I've lost, I miss my mind the most". A scarecrow looking lady stands with a dazed look among birds and bird houses. The tune, (very fitting for this sentiment) plays "If I only had a brain. Measures 6 1/4" tall and is in perfect condition. Key wound from the bottom.
This cute little ceramic figurine is probably made in Japan. Made to look like one of the Hummel figurals. A little girl with a staff, and her kitty cat in her sack. Musical, key wound, and plays "Tomorrow". Lever on the back to turn it on or off. Great condition. Two holes in the bottom of the four feet. I think they are just pour holes for the ceramic. Measures 5 3/4" tall.
