What chemicals were used on the old barometer figurines

In the 1950's and '60's weather barometer animal figurines were popular. They usually changed color when the weather was going to change from sunshine to rain or snow. After a period of time they stop working (changing color). I am curious as to what chemicals they were coated/painted with that made them work and if it would be possible to recoat one and have it work again.
