This listing is for 2 small Erzgebirge Germany teeny pieces - a pig and a little fence.  The pig is a little bigger than some of the other cows that I have for sale - he is the same size as the cows. The pig and cow are hand made and hand painted.  They were originally sold, in the 1920's, as part of a set.  They are in absolutely great condition.  There is some very slight crackling to the paint, but no damage at all.  Both pieces stand really well.  The pig is slightly flat but still has 4 legs.  He displays great, and stands just fine. The Erzgebirge Region of Germany (sometimes called "Ore Mountains" has been home to folk artists for generations.  The area originally had lots of ore, but that ran out.  The area is also heavily forested, so the inhabitants turned to making things from wood and wood by products (including composition).  The little pieces are hand carved and hand painted.  I am including a copy of a page from an antique catalog for a German Publisher in Illinois.  The catalog is long sold, but I kept copies of many of the pages, from the 1926 catalog.  I am including a copy of one of the pages showing the little farm sets.  At Christmas, this publisher wholesaled Erzgebirge Germany tiny toys, that included wood (like these pieces) in a variety to sizes, as well as composition pieces.  There were ALL kinds of wonderful pieces for sale.  Now, though, we only find pieces and parts; I haven't seen a full set, probably ever.  The pig in this listing is slightly bigger than the 2 pigs in a separate listing. One way to tell the older pieces?  They were hand carved; later sets were "hand made" but used new power tools.  I have some of those that I will be listing, as well. I also have a VERY old twig fence, from the 1920's for sale, as well.
