Fragile Porcelain Manatees

I'm trying to think if I have anything to bring, objects or promises of help that would appeal to anyone but me. I make good mashed potatoes every third or fourth try, and I have an excess of tiny porcelain animals that I collected out of imported boxes of tea. I'm not sure what the exchange rate is these days for tiny porcelain manatees, though. I'm sure there are lots of folks out there who actually have valuable stuff, or even better, valuable skills. Maybe some method for eighty-sixing some of those tedious Boomer-friendly shows from Channel 9?
I think it was in boxes of Tetley tea, the British stuff. The animals they phased out in favor of little circus people ... I had a strong man in one box. Not sure what they are doing now. You might be able to find the stuff at Jay's?
