Anyone Know The Artist Who Made These Teak Toys?

My wife and I went for a walk this weekend and came across a tiny little antique store at the top of our street. We were immediately drawn to these simple and playful teak wooden toys. The shop owner didn't know the artist's name but he informed us that the toy was made in Denmark in the 50's or 60's. Regardless, we had to have them so we bought both and now we're trying to figure out who the artist was. After a few quick searches in Google we came across two names, Kay Bojesen and Hans Bolling (who's work seem to be the closest to our find). Hans uses teak, rope, fur, and the eyes are painted similar to that of the figures we bought. That said, I couldn't find images of these exact figures. If anyone out there can confirm or knows who made these please contact me!
