Description
We recently purchased a number of German Incense Smokers at the Estate Sale of a Women who went to visit family in the Erzgerbirge area of Germany, and passed away during the visit. A neighbor here in Florida was asked to liquidate the collection for the Estate. We had never seen these items before and were amazed at the beauty and detail of these Handcarved Pieces and purchased what was left of a collection of over 100+ pieces. We have researched these items to be able to properly list them. We are listing all as used since we have no boxes as they were thrown away before the Estate sale started. We do however see when removing the top and bottom which pieces were smoked and which do not look like they were smoked. The original collectors placed taped numbers on the bottom of many of their pieces. We have decided not to remove as the original label was getting ruined when we tried. Also many of the Labels have fallen of pieces as they were in a pile when we purchased. We were not sure which label went with which smoker so we will just list as such. We will also note what we think might be any missing attachments.
Here is what we learned about this/these Smokers:
This little man with a jacket a tie and a cup of coffee is another Expertic Erzgebirge -Made in German Democratic Republic and the label is partially faded & blocked out by the collectors tape that was on the bottom. This piece is adorable but looks like he had a rough time over the years and does have a lot of paint loss, This is reflected in the price. He has been smoked.
The items described above are all that is included in this auction. Thanks for looking.
