    I found these today in an antique mall and really liked them. There are no markings on them but the sticker said they were old. Just curious about them. I haven't seen any others.

    Could they be displays for wigs or hats?

    Looks like Polish style to me. I like how they are very detailed. That is a mark of good workmanship.

    The HGTV website has an antique section....in the forums. You can post the pics and get and maybe get an answer. If you DO find out, let us know. They're very interesting pieces.

    I was going to say the same thing. First thing I thought of was the stacking dolls.
