VTT - Christmas Children Postcard & Figures



The Christmas postcard with the old-fashioned children is copyright Bon Ton Art Co. 1912. It is signed with the initials C.G. Jr.

I was really happy to find some ceramic figures of a boy and a girl in a thrift shop last week. They are just the kind of Christmas figures I was hoping to find. I have some caroling salt and pepper shakers that I posted last year, and I decided I would like some more vintage shakers or figures of children singing. I don't know how old these figures are--does anyone else know? They have a small label on the bottom that just says Japan.

  7. I love those figures, they are adorable, I don't know anything about them, but the faces have that vintage look. I love the lashes on the boy. Wow! That baby book seems to have been very popular. I was born in Evanston Hospital but Don was born in NYC and his mother got the same one in blue when he was born in '69. Its still in the original box because she used another one.
