[QUOTE="Irenka, post: 9513338, member: 18829"]Hey to all of you good people! I hope you all are having wonderful summer. Are any of you have any knowledge about wooden toys? This gorgeous boy come to my eye on one of our tours through Italy flea markets, it was so intriguing to me that i had to have it. Althoug i dont have any knowledge about this type of toys. The seller was an old guy claiming that this is very old toy, but like you all know it doesnt matter what the seller says, it was just interesting that he claims that this toy is pre Pinocchio, meaning that he seems to claim that the toy is older than 1883. I dont know why he even mentioned Pinocchio even though it is a story about a wooden toy, i thought to mention maybe it has some meaning, maybe they did a lot of wooden toys depiction Pinocchio and he thought it is worth mentioning that it is not from that period? I dont know but the wooden boy is charming any way. He has some wacky repairs though but it dont bothers me. Do any of you have some thoughts on this one ? I really would love to know some more. Thanks to all who will take the time for me and the boy! [ATTACH=full]450979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]450982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]450983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]450984[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
