Two examples are shown. A girl wearing a clownish orange jumpsuit with black buttons and a large ruffled white collar sits holding a bouquet of forget-me-nots. Her yellow cap is topped with a little blue hat. There’s a hole in the ruff behind the head to hold a pen. The top lifts to access the inkwell. “6218” is impressed on the bottom and “signed” with number “27”.
Her “little sister” standing next to her is similarly dressed but stands only 3” tall. The piece is marked “Germany” on the bottom.
