This is an antique German 17 piece putz style creche nativity set. This is a very unique set with most pieces stamped Germany on the bottom. The manger and Jesus might be from a different set. I’m not positive but the peace is very unique. Jesus is wrapped in a blanket that does have some darkened exposed old dried glue. All of the people are in good condition with no major damage, some light chipping here and there. No re-glues. Everything is hand painted. The animals are very realistic looking. Most are in good condition except a couple have cracks on the legs and the two animals laying down such as the ram and a donkey have missing ears. I decided to add them in anyway because they help complete the set. You will get a total of eight animals. The putz style creche is made of a paper or cardboard with stone impressions, then hand painted. It has the word Germany written on the back. There is an old-fashioned Paramount brand light plug attached to the back. I’m not sure if that’s just been added or if the nativity was actually made by Paramount. This was an estate find. This was all wrapped in newspaper from 1984. I do not believe it has been used since the 80s, just been in storage. Really neat set taken out of a time capsule. The pieces are on a 4 inch scale measuring between three and 4 inches tall. The Creche measures 6 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches long. Made in Germany. If you have any additional questions, send me a message. Thank you.
