They aren't worth much at all and they are mostly beaten up pretty bad but I figured that a few people from outside of the Mardi Gras areas surrounding New Orleans might like to see these pieces that I have gathered over the last year or so...

I was stationed in New Orleans from Dec 2008 to March 2011. I attended 3 Mardi Gras. These are, by far, my favorite collectible items.

Well Bluenoser, They are interesting but made very cheaply. I had a few bronzepieces from old Tabasco floats that dated back before the second world war but they have been lost since I was a boy. I would bet that those are worth a pretty penny but these are no older than the late sixties and very very damaged.
