Cool little novelty set , robusmc .

Perhaps from a : novelty shop , carnival/fair booth/game o'skill/chance  (including 'prize-items') .

Looks as if they are lithographed metal , perhaps to imitate 'tintype' photos .
My guess is from the 1920's thru 1940's & U.S.A. manufacture .

Any small/tiny identifying/additional marks on your items ?
