Item:125611935928EAST GERMAN WOOD FLATZIES 19 MINIATURE XMAS PUTZ FIGURES, FARM SET EX COND.
These little pieces are called "Flatzies" or "Flats". They come from the Erzgebirge region of Germany, where these types of sets have been made literally for generations. The families in both East and West Germany, as well as Germany before WWII, made the little wooden decorations and playsets from patterns and tools that were passed down from Father to Son. They are in the Victorian Style, but were created later, probably the 1970s. I have some others for sale (a group of trees). Some of this set are marked East Germany and some are not. It is much harder to find East Germany pieces, as the "Iron Curtain" kept East Germany from doing business with the West, until the Berlin Wall went down. Anyway, these little trees will work with sets from just about ALL eras! There are two each - two poplars and two bushes. Included in this set are 1 Person 1 Tree 5 Sheep 2 Cows 2 Horses 1 Goat 4 Chickens 2 Pigs 1 Dog
