(6.5 cm) wide humorous figure of a white pig standing at what is obviously
supposed to be an outhouse, yet with the sign incised at the top reading
"Public Telephone Call Office" and "Engaged" at the bottom. On the back of
the figure it is incised "Made in Germany (within a circle)" and "2771".
Inside the outhouse is another pig who is "engaged". German porcelain with
painting typical of figures from the "pink series" circa 1910-1920, in
perfect condition. US$ 225. |

4" (10 cm) tall
by 2" (5 cm) wide, this figure represents a brown bear opening an outhouse
door (although incised at the top of the shack "Life Guard House") and
inside is a seated figure of a man with a moustache, a cap, and high knee
socks and shoes. In very good condition but with color wear to the gold
lustre highlights and some brown paint of the bear.
US$ 225. |

4 1/2"
(11.5 cm) tall by the same size across German porcelain novelty figure from
the same maker as the "pink pig" series showing a momma bear on one side of
a large water pump with her cub on the other side of the pump standing in a
tub waiting fro the water to come out to be bathed. There seem to be vines
and toad stools "growing" on the front of the pump. Incised on the bottom
front of the figure are the words "Good Old Annually" apparently referring
to the "once a year" bath. The bears are painted various shades of white and
gray and the "pump" and base of a different shades of green with gold lustre
highlights. In mint condition. An extremely rare and seldom found figure.
US$ 275.

2 1/4"
tall by 4" (10 cm) wide figure of a pug dog and a collie-type dog looking in
a dog house to see it is occupied by a cat who has claimed it as his own.
The unusual thing about this figure is that it is also a match striker with
the back of the dog house as the striker. Although undamaged, there is some
roughness to the collie's left ear tip which appears to be a flaw in the
making as well as a surface indentation to the same dog forehead, again a
manufacturing defect. The open dog house was probably used as a match
holder. An unusual multi figural German novelty item.
US$ 295.
