Help identifying some very old figures. 70-100+ years old?

[beefcake]

My inlaws have been having a good clearout of their house tidying up things and unearthing lots of old things. They came across a bunch of lead miniatures/figures that belonged to my father inlaw and his uncle so probably somewhere between 70-100 years plus. They were wondering if they were of any value so I offered to ask here in case the LAF collective could shed any light on this or even if people knew who manufactured them. They have no markings on the bottom of them.
Many of them are rather 2 dimensional but some have a bit more depth to them.
I probably should have put something in there for scale but they are on an A4 piece of paper if that helps.
Thanks

Are you saying we're old? 

There's a chap called James Opie who values antique and vintage miniatures for Bonhams, he always happy to give a quick ball park idea of both what you've got and what they might be worth. You can get his contact details from: http://www.james-opie.co.uk/5503/index.html

Thanks. Very much appreciated

Well some people seem to have their age saying they are 135 and in the thousands so I thought they might know

I'm no expert but I have seen a few of those figures before. Looks like a mix of W. Britain with maybe one or two Zinnfiguren mixed in. One hundred and thirty-five years old? You're joking surely? More likely seventy but even then quite a few of those figures were produced into the late 1940s/1950s.

None of those figures are in the range of thousands. Depending on how daft the potential buyer is, you are looking at tens. None of those are in very good condition or especially rare.

No no, the 135 was in reference to peoples own ages. As in my age says 34 to the left of the screen. Some people put in a random age. Nothing to do with these minis. sorry for the confusion.

The hollow cast figures look like W.Britains - should be easy enough to trace them, but probably not much value in a played with condition.

Some of the flatter pieces look like home-cast figures (possibly 1950s) made using moulds similar to the ones Prince August sell. Although the moulds back then were gunmetal not rubber.
The home-casts could include ships, subs, and aircraft (I've seen moulds for them).

Probably not a huge value more of an interest item.

You see them occasionally in local auction houses and they don't fetch a lot.

Okay. Thanks.
I'll check with that guy 6milphill said otherwise they'll be stored away or in the tip I guess,

Gives new meaning to "old school" figures.  Very nice.
