Woven twine and raffia on a wire armature and paint, are the materials used by the anonymous artist to create this black itinerant preacher,a bible under his arm, mounted on his horse.The bible's front page says, "HOLY BIBLE Contains 224 Pages of the New Testament Of Our Lord Jesus Christ", then a picture of a cross and a shepherd's crook and words under that "Printed in U.S.A." The Bible is 1 1/8" wide and 1 1/2" tall. Wonderful folk art figure. His saddle is a bit of old checkered cloth. Hard to date. I would guess ,most definitely,pre WWII,may be earlier. The condition is generally very good. The exception is the horse's ears. They have been repaired - one with glue ,the other with a pin -it is possible to improve upon the repairs,perhaps... The overall height of the preacher mounted on the horse is 12 1/4" and the overall width is about 9 1/2".

Krampus is supposedly a devil like figure, half man, half goat. He is one of the companions of Father Christmas in his travels - part of European lore. He carries bundles of sticks (used as switches) and usually a bag - in this case a staved basket - or chais (seen in the next Krampus I am listing. The mold is 5 5/8" tall . Made of tinned steel it does have a variety of markings: 16+2,10,11,WIEN (Vienna),...TEICH (cannot make out the first part might not be T but R, and therefore could be the last part of Ostreich-which is Austria.

However, we can also see the cat who is making the call,on hind legs, behind the desk. The box telephone is hanging on the back of the desk.An unusual little scene done in great detail. There is paint wear - see photos. About 2" at its widest and 2 1/2" at its tallest point.Dates about the early 20th c.

She is a flirty, naked, blond,full figured German bisque. What a doll! She is wearing her original little wig of curls and her lovely light blue bathing shoes.I assume she is sitting on a beach, as these figures are often referred to as "bathing beauties"(or naughties) She is beautiful and in beautiful condition, 5" across and 3 1/2" top to bottom. She dates from the 1920's.

This Civil War period glazed leather sewing "roll" is actually rectangular in shape . It is brown leather and lighter brown fabric binding. Lined in red silk, while it is worn, is amazingly all there(most wear of the silk is on the compartment gussets). The lock, which still works is beautifully detailed and decorated brass and steel.The thimble holder contains a Simon Bros. Co. metal thimble which,of course, is not original. There is a large steel bodkin in one of the 7 slots. It has three compartments and its original silk covered pincushion forms one of the sides. The width is 4 1/2", the height is 3" and the depth is 2". Given its age and use I think it is in lovely condition.
