Lefton pieces (the majority, with #1513 / #1514 and the red/gold foil stickers)These were made in Japan in the 1950s to early/mid-1960s.
The specific “Lefton’s Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. Exclusive Japan” foil sticker is characteristic of that mid-century period (roughly 1953–mid-1960s).
Production of these styles largely ended when Lefton shifted manufacturing away from Japan in the 1970s.
Homco pieces (the couple with the bows)These (especially the popular #1428 style white kittens with peach or blue bows) were made in the 1980s, typically in Taiwan.
Napco piece
Most similar Napco white Persian-style cats/kittens were produced in Japan during the 1950s–1960s.
Overall summary for the lot:
The Lefton and Napco cats are primarily 1950s–1960s, while the Homco ones are 1980s. The whole group spans roughly the mid-20th century to the late 1980s.
Unmarked piece
Hard to date precisely without a mark, but stylistically it fits the same mid-century to 1980s range as the others.
