My mom purchased these in Whittier CA at least 30 years ago. Someone saw them and knocked on her door and said these are made by LEROY SCHMALTZ. My dad who passed away would have probably known the maker, but she has no clue. Any idea on value and maker? She is located in Whittier, CA. One is around 58 inches and the other is around 52 inches. image000001

Thank you very much, the link to the auction was very helpful. I found a couple auction listings that look "close" to what she has.

The results sold for $4,500 to $9,000 after auction fees. However, the ones she has seem to a little more weathered.

Would $2,500 each be reasonable? Or is that too high or low??
