My great-uncle past away last month and in getting ready for the estate sale his daughter found these and felt I should have them. They are stamped Wilton cake topper on the bottom and the Porky pig is dated 1970 the others are dated 1979. Does anyone have any other information on these? It really touched me that she wanted me to have them. I just thought you all could give me more info or would at least appreciate seeing them, as I did.

Sorry, I looked in my Wilton 1979 Yearbook hoping to find something, but the toppers were not listed in that issue. I'll keep looking and if I find any information, I'll "pm".

I love vintage toppers and I think your collection is adorable!! and it's especially nice that you are one person who will really appreciate and cherish them.

Thanks guys for the try. I just guess I wondered if they were just sold on a cake (grocery store) or knowing my great-uncle they were probably a promotional giveaway LOL

Hopefully the cake will be for you or a close family member so you can keep a tab of these. I could neve part with them either.
