Some interesting house numbers found in , . Well, the last one may be difficult to put in an address...

The number 145 painted with serifs. The number 4 is closed in the top, but it is rounded rather than pointed.
The number 33 in a very high contrast serif with flat-topped 3's and swirly ball terminals. The numbers are clearly hand-painted showing slight differences between them.
The number 34 in a high contrast serif. The number 4 is extreme, basically resembling a 7 rotated 180° with a tiny vertical line crossing the horizontal stroke.
A painting of a friendly-looking animal, which could be an elephant, an anteater or a tapir, though it has very large eyes and large flat feet.
