sorry !!! (too expensive for my fortune, although I would have wished to have some Douchkine as painting reference).
 
But I added in the gallery, and my reference photographies for the horses and lights !! Douchkine is fascinating...
 
I found it on EBay UK as "zinnfiguren"  and US EBay searching on "Figurine flat tin".  However only very very few second hands sales, market probably not so interested by flats in the US. Other names are "Figures flat lead" , no single name to designate these flat figures .  In France "plat d'étain" and on EBay Germany "flachfiguren" are giving the best searches; so far....
 
If you have better search names, I am interested...
