A trio of vintage toy animal figurines, including two elephants and one tiger, produced in the style of mid-20th-century manufacturers such as Britains Ltd or Taylor and Barrett. The pieces are constructed from painted hollow-cast metal, likely a lead-based alloy. One elephant is modelled with a raised trunk, while the second is depicted with a lowered trunk. Both elephants are finished in a dark grey colour with white-painted tusks and red eye details. The tiger is presented in a prowling, low-slung pose with an open mouth, featuring hand-painted black stripes over an ochre and burnt-sienna ground, with green eyes and red detailing inside the mouth. Casting seams are visible on the tiger figure. No maker marks or factory stamps are present on the bodies of these figurines.
