History: This charming figurine features a trio of owls perched on a stylized arched tree trunk, rendered in creamy off-white "Stonelite," a material commonly used by Le Ron for their line of mid-20th-century decorative pieces. Stonelite was a branded composite, typically a mix of resin and stone dust, designed to emulate the texture and look of hand-carved ivory or soapstone while being economical and easy to mold.
 
 
The Le Ron label places this item within the wave of post-war decorative exports, likely from Japan or Taiwan, although the exact origins of Le Ron products are somewhat obscure. These were distributed through gift shops and department stores and marketed as elegant yet affordable home décor.
 
 
The figurine retains good detail in the feather texture and tree bark motifs. The presence of the original foil sticker and the painted model number "532" suggest it was part of a numbered product line. Though mass-produced, its retro aesthetic and intact condition give it some appeal among collectors of vintage kitsch or animal-themed décor.
 
 
While it holds more nostalgic and decorative value than rarity, Le Ron figurines are gaining modest interest on the secondary market—especially those with complete labeling and whimsical animal motifs like this.
