Description: For offer is a fine SUPER RARE, A.W.Fr. Krister of Scheibe-Alsbach figure of an organ grinder.This figurine has very fine detailed hand painted work. There will never be two that are completely identical. Each one is unique He wears a tattered red coat and the drapery above his organ has gorgeous detailed yellow 'cloth'.There is a white mark on his green pants, but it is not a chip. It is a small dot that was missed during the hand painting.There is a small chip on the yellow cloth which is almost invisible with the folds and light paint colour.I believe that it is a very old piece. I had purchased him from the living estate of an affluent politician many many years ago. It is a part of my personal collection. It is hand numbered beside the Krister of Scheibe-Alsbach stamp. #9609 or #6096 depending on the angle, but I believe the former to be true.HE MEASURES 5.25" HIGH AND 2.25" AT THE WIDEST PART (HIS ELBOWS) There ARE NO CRAZING, CRACKS OR REPAIRS MADE TO THIS PIECE. The pictures provided are a part of the description. I have never seen another figurine like him. He is a tired and hard working busker. Please let me know if you have any questions before making your purchase as it is not returnable. I want you to be happy with this fine German gentleman. **PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CONSIGNED ITEM.
