Question:
I've had this cute little pair of mice for ages, but can't seem to find any other ones like them. They're made by Enesco, with a date of 1983. They're about 3" tall, and made of ceramic or porcelain. I've always positioned them nose-to-nose as if they're kissing (awww), but whether or not they're really supposed to smooching, I dunno.
They *may* be from a collection called "Country Calico", but I'm not sure. A search on eBay and a Google search both turned up nothing. I found a few similar ones, but no exact matches.
They're probably not worth millions (LOL!) but I don't have a clue what price to start them at.
If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
Answer:
If it helps any ...
Here's a photo of the bottom of the girl mouse, and an enlarged photo of the markings. The boy mouse doesn't have a mark, but there probably wasn't room on the bottom of his feet to print it.
I've been Googling for a couple of hours now, and still haven't found anything. Maybe these mice are so rare and valuable that I can retire! (Yeah, don't I wish!!)
Answer:
I have a collectibles book but it doesn't have the Enesco items in one category. The Enesco items appear to be under the category, i.e. Precious Moments, etc. so I was unable to locate your cute little couple.
ETA: There was not a category for Country Calico.

Thanks!
Hazel -- Yep, that's the one I found that's very very similar to mine, as far as the design of the mouse itself. I found some other "Days of the Week" mice, but unfortunately didn't find an exact match.
I got these at the hospital gift shop where I used to work on weekends, when I was a teenager. They always had the cutest things! I'd end up spending half my paycheck.
