Damm Boy with Slingshot

This is a figurine made by Damm using the old Hoechst molds around the very end of this factory when they used a simple color scheme. Damm was actually not a porcelain but an earthenware maker. Thus these pieces look quite different than the old Hoechst ones and are much lighter in weight. They are also a bit bigger in size as earthenware did not shrink as much as porcelain during the firing process. Quite charming though and very collectable and rare. This is a figure of a boy with a slingshot. He is 5.325 inches tall and in OK condition with the right leg having a break at the knee and the left leg at the foot as well as some small areas of paint loss. Left hand fingers are damaged as well. Marked underneath with the blue wheel mark as well as an incised 260. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
