British RAF soldiers from GJ ☁️☁️☁️🪂🪂🪂🛫🛫🛫
GJ (Brussels, 1935-1950) brand raises many questions. GJ would be the initials of the Belarusian sculptor who made figurines for the "cheap" Belgian stores.
The figurines produced before the war bear the GJ brand under the base. The GJ figurines produced after the war (without marking) are recognizable by a style of very high quality of sculpture, and beauty of colors.
