I'm fairly new to antiques, but this has got me completely stumped. I haven't seen anything like these. I think they're absolutely beautiful.
The only information I could get is that on one of these, the bottom has a sticker that says "K.O.K." which I believe was an old Chinese manufacturer.
The crazy thing is that these still work. The light illuminates the mermaid (with several different colors - assuming it's from lenses on the inside). On the other one, the circular part lights up.
I believe the guy said he'd owned these since the 70's, but wasn't sure about the history of them before he got a hold of them.

And the 2nd one:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to figure the age, value, and rarity of these.
Also, for what it's worth, they're both roughly 18" tall and weigh about 15-20 lbs - hefty little things.

If it was blatantly obvious what they were from your thumbnails,, I wouldn`t have asked !!

I'm not sure if you're telling or asking what they are. I need to find dates and value on them.

Lets just say I was reaffirming what they were !! Your thumbnails are difficult to tell !!

I think these are KOKAtlanta pieces !! Big import export company similar to Pier 1 imports !! 70`s or after !! Not antique or vintage from that switch !! Pretty modern !!
