Found at old falling down house about 4" deep in Ohio. I think it is HJ&G right under the tail on the g is R inside a circle. I have come up empty with my search. Thanks for your time !!! Jim

it's an 'H' for sure. Second figure looks like possibly an '&' sign with a home roof and chimney over it. Third figure is a 'G'. The 'R' in a circle is the 'registered trademark' symbol. Combine all that and the flower, and I'm thinking Home and Garden.... as in 'Better Homes and Gardens' magazine. (or something along those lines)

Maybe "House & Garden" magazine?

After looking at it again I think there are 3 letters H J(?) & G. maybe.

It is HJ&G Inc logo, they made porcelain dolls

From what there is on the net they didn't make too many! I can't find any info on the company.

Theye didnt last long, i would say 1989 - 1996 ish.. give or take a few years. their dolls were tailored towards collectors, but overpriced and midgrade quality

was bad timing all the would be doll collectors were selling their souls for beanie babies

 

[Buckeyejim]

Wow thanks everyone !!!

Anybody know what the initials H J & G stand for?

 

[s2ndjetli]

It should be H I and G instead of a “j”. I dont know why its a “j” Stands for Home Interior and Gifts. They marketed alot of porcelain dolls and other utensils like candle cutters etc. neat find

That's a terrific ID. My mother worked for Home Interiors about 50 years ago... I feel like I should have recognized the 'home' shape of the pin.

That really hits home. For YEARS my mother in law was one of the soul sellers! guess who inherited those now worthless toys...... LMAO, we actually have a storage unit 1/2 full of them.

There are a handful still worth big bucks, but they are fairly scarce, If i had a storage unit full i woukd take the time to figure which are worth it, then dig through, and donate the rest to one of the toy/stuffed animal drives. bikers groups often do plush roundups to give to cops to carry in their trunk for children when they are upset.

Did not know that was the same company, My only experience with the logo was with dolls, I used to resell almost exclusively toys, (mostly 60s-80s) so i have seen the dolls before. Now give me any piece /accessory/weapon from an action figure and that I can help you with lol

Thank you all for so much info ! This site is awesome !!!

Only if someone is willing to pay though are they worth big bucks. I have inventory sheets of every tote, and have sent them off to the beanie baby buying websites to see if i could generate any interest, and was told no-one is buying them really anymore. If you know of an outlet to sell the valuable ones, my wife and I have been looking for a children's charity for the rest. I also like the police idea for lost scared children. I would love a PM if you have an idea of direction for selling at this point though, because I am out of ideas.

I just guessed at the second letter. It looked like a J to me but your ID is correct. Thanks.
