Also, to find that out, are they vintage, or of recent manufacture? They are a bit pricey, kind of in the range of if someone made these today and wants their labor's worth. Or they were re-mounted because the backings were messed up, and then signed? That backlit shelf usually had faux leopard or Tiger print as backing. That shelf is rare, and the "Conversation" faces are highly desirable, but id they are not in original condition, the price is definitely too high. In any case, I would be interested to see a close up shot of the signature, and get an assessment if they are new or old, or just the backings are new.
