9.0 I found this piece after the book was printed. The size puts it either in Chapter 8 or 9. It is stamped Fritz Pfeffer on the underside. This view shows the color best. This must have been a complicated piece to make. As I see more pieces by FP, I am more and more impressed with their work. 3.5" high $125 Pending

13.64b Antique German nnow baby white Santa on sled; rare book example.This is the only example of this pose I have ever had. He has a very long beard and a stern expression, so I believe he was molded to look like earlier versions of Santa. I do not know if he was made before or after WWI, nor do I know which porcelain factory made him. But then, Santa himself has always been a mystery. 2.25" $150 Pending

8.33 The early boy's sled was broken long ago. Notice how the glue has darkened beyond yellow to brown. Since he appears to be fixing his sled, or at least to be righting it, perhaps the breaks were pre-ordained. He held something in his right hand that is broken off. There is also a break in the hill,visible below his right foot. But his molding is lovely and I've never seen another, so I've disiplayed it many years. Piling a bit of cotton batting or placing something to cover the break in the base. I don't like to give up on damaged pieces over 100 years old. 4.5" $30 Pending
