Both pieces marked "Alexander Backer" or ABCO and one still has original sticker label on base, This set is in Excellent condition with hardly any sign of wear. The Alexander Backer Company of New York produced numerous different chalkware figurines, bookends, and statues during the middle part of the 20th century. Little is know about the company's history, its production or designers. There are many collectors for their work.
