A collection of nine novelty figures identified as Robertsons Golly Band members. These figures, likely constructed from chalk/plaster, depict musicians in exaggerated, blackface caricature style, commonly associated with early to mid-20th-century ephemera. Each figure is individually hand-painted, primarily in black, with white eyes and red mouths, wearing blue jackets and red trousers (except for one figure in a red outfit). The musicians are shown playing various instruments including guitars, clarinets, upright bass, drums, and saxophones. Several figures stand on rectangular bases bearing visible text markings such as ROBERTSON or the partial inscription RTSON. One figure, dressed in red and playing a saxophone, features a metal loop affixed to the top of the head, suggesting potential use as a fob or keychain.
