Hunches in Bunches by Linda Miller

[fmofmpls]

I was browsing through the old UMA Yahoo group the other day and was both saddened and delighted to find a folder that Linda Miller had uploaded there. Linda had created a folder named 'Hunches In Bunches' on Mar 18, 2007.

In the coming days, I will be sharing pics taken directly from this folder of hers. There are close to 20 pics of various Hunchbacks taken from Meek's collection. I will let the pictures speak for themselves complete with her descriptions of each figurine.

I'm not seeing any of the pics. You probably won't be able to link to pictures stored at the Yahoo Group.

Dang it! It was working earlier. I guess Yahoo caught up with me? Gimme a moment and I will fix the feed.

Good Luck Italian Hunchback.

Terra Cotta "Good Luck" Hunchback




Knock-off Hunchbacks(front).

These are less than fair reproductions but you can see that they are based on the other hunchback figurines.

Poor quality painting, but I still like the little guys.

It's easy to see why Meek liked them.
Thanks for showing them Terry.I bet she's having a chuckle along about now.
