Manufacturer: unknown
This figural toothpick holder is very similar to the one shown as figure #664 on p. 59 of the 1992 book prepared by members of the National Toothpick Holder Collector's Society. I myself laid out that page for the photo shoot. This bisque toothpick holder belonged to my mother and was in her collection for many years.
It stands 5 inches tall and most likely was made in Germany in the 1900-1918 period. It is painted in shades of blue and pink with some gold color highlights on the racket, shirt shoes and pants. His cheeks and lips are done in pink. If you collect German bisque dolls, this would make a charming go-along from the same time period. A charming blond young boy holds a racket and ball in his upraised right hand and is carrying a woven basket on his back. What is fascinating is the writing in pencil that is on the inside of the base. I can't quite make it out but am sure it is in English. It is unsigned. It is in excellent condition.
I am a long time member and past President (1988) of the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Club. I guarantee the authenticity of this TP. For more info on toothpick holders as a great collectible, vist the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Society web page at www.nthcs.org |
