Last week's HTF treasure was the little grasshopper that I found at my Dad's house. Since then, I did a bit of research, and found out that it's most likely German made. There's a region in Germany in the Ore Mountains called Erzgebirge. They are famous for their little wooden figurines just like my grasshopper. He was most likely part of a musical group of critters.
So on a whim, I went on Ebay and found him a companion to play along.
This little frog with his trumpet now completes a duo of musical critters! He was around $5.00 and I knew that he had to come live with me.
Enjoy your weekend!
For some reason, that little frog is stirring a faint memory. I wonder if I've seen him before. It's entirely possible my own grandfather had one.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a find! I really like the way these guys look together and now you have a duo!
ReplyDeleteIh, that is so cool! He did need a friend.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
