Box of Vintage Christmas Decorations

These are at a local auction near me. I will send more pictures when I see them in person but for now this is the picture they provided.

Saw the peg doll dressed in dapper for Christmas xD

Anyone know much about these, would have written them off normally but I saw somebody show there fathers collection on here, sparked my interest in these.

 

The birds look like they're 1930s German; the reproductions generally look different. The ones in the box look later to me, but I'm no expert. The doll one definitely is - 50s Swedish? @Bookahtoo would probably know.

 

I can't quite make out the doll....is it a dressed bear?

From what I can see, nothing Swedish pops out.

 

It's a wooden doll in a fancy dress. The Swedes made a pile of those in the 50s and 60s. Unless it was the Norwegians, but I think the ones I've seen came from Sweden.

 

Are you thinking of the Polish wooden dolls?

Not really, but I've seen those before too.

 

Perhaps these? I have a few of them myself.

I must admit that I can't see the one in the post very clearly, but it's not anything Scandinavian I am familiar with.

Can you google an example?

Just curious here.

I'm wondering what I'm missing!!?

 

I went looking for https://www.google.com/search?q=Toa...t-rbAhVMslMKHYvMBz8Q_AUICygC&biw=1440&bih=794

...but a lot of what comes up are Polish dolls. They're not the right ones however. The arms are all wrong. The ones I've found here all had little paper labels saying "made in Sweden".

 

Gee golly gosh darn!

I can't think of what you mean, unless they are tomte, nisse, gnome.

Something like these?

I have several myself.

I just c/p Nathan's photo to enlarge in my editing program....(When I enlarged it here, that portion of the photo goes out of view).

The one in the photo looks more Hungarian, etc.

 

I assumed it was one of the three kings but obviously there is more to it than just a biblical reference xD

I’ll be sure to take a few more pics then when I go and I’ll look out for glass and plastic items

 

Tthe birds seen here with those fibre glass tails are usually 1960s.

 

I have some made in the 30s; the tails weren't fiberglass, but something else. Just don't ask me what. The glue tends to go on them eventually.

Entirely possible.
