Bridge

Today's flea market find -


A vintage double bass(?) bridge. It seems to be too large to be from a cello. Am thinking it could be a sort of backdrop to a ballerina automaton figure. The central arch is a bit too small to house a figure, unless I make it quite a small one ( it might have to be 'fixed' and not poseable).

today

A photo of the booty I acquired at todays flea market in town. 6 ex-table footy players (with a couple of balls thrown in) all for the princely sum of 5 euros. Not sure of what I'm going to do with them - any suggestions appreciated! They're some sort of plastic/composite and I'm guessing they're from the 50s/60s (?). There is a marking on the back - a sort of curly letter L in a small circle - any ideas?
They need a bit of a clean tho' I don't want to scrub too hard as the colours appear to be painted on.
