So collecting putz and putz figures for your feathered trees or just your ways of Christmas time. They're a lot of fun and I have a few examples that I want to show you today. These are little sheep with stick legs you'll find these in German, Italian but you also need to beware of, there are a lot of reproductions of these out here. They are to be found so look for stamping on them, check with your reference books they come in a variety of sizes, this is a nice example of a cleaned little sheep with stick feet. I'm going to show you also in these iron little reindeer's usually stamped Germany on them they come in a variety of sizes sitting or standing with horns. A lot of times you'll find these damaged or the feet are damaged and then you can also see there's some paint loss of these not a lot on this particular one. It's a nice shape, it's a nice example of a 3" iron reindeer made in Germany and there's a variety of sizes from little tiny miniatures up to about 4 or 5". Some other examples of just putz scenes little campfire done in twigs you'll find these types of putz little different scenes add to your little decorations. So this is just a campfire scene and here on the back we have there's a lot of these wooden structures little houses to house your animal and sheep. This is just a little fenced in gate or a covered bridge that you can use in decorating your putz scene. So very few examples but use your reference book to go and see what kind of decorations there are to use in your putz scene. Put around your feathered trees and build up your own little holiday putz scenes and decorations with your feathered tree.
