More Clowns & Circuses
More French Things
The colors of these delightful scraps of children are superb - bright and cheerful. The children appear to be French, but we know that the scraps were produced in Germany in the early 20th century. Each clown measures about 2-1/4 inches high by 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide. We love their rosy cheeks and dark pink lips. These would make great tops for vintage style ornaments that would work anytime of year.
Because these are so rare (from the very early 20th century), please be very careful when using them. You'll love the wonderful chromolithographed colors and the nice embossing and expert die-cutting!

Vintage German Santa Face Chromolithographed Scrap Picture
More Christmas
When we first found these, we though them to be vintage stickers. We've since discovered that they were single die cuts made to top special Christmas cookies, be they stollen or gingerbread! These would normally be attached with icing (used like glue).
Because these are vintage and we're not sure of their complete provenance, we would suggest that you not use them on food directly.
Each little die cut measures not quite 3 inches high by about 1-5/16 inch wide. It is very lightly embossed.
They are nicely cut and in great shape for their age. we expect that they are from the 1940s or earlier.

Vintage Die cut Gummed Santa Head Sticker
More Vintage Stickers
We believe these to be Dennison stickers, but we cannot be sure. We've long collected holiday images in die-cuts, scraps, seals and stickers. We've never come across this one before or again. In fact, we've researched it to no avail.
Right on the ball at the end of Santa's cap, it reads:
Made in U.S.A.
We just love the expression on this jolly Saint Nick's face. This is a gummed seal (with water-activated adhesive on the back). It appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s, but it could be earlier.
He measures about 2-1/4 inches high by 1-1/2 inch wide. We've packaged each one in a tiny glassine envelope for safe-keeping to protect the gummed adhesive from sticking to something else. If you choose to use this in your artwork, we suggest that you moisten it with a damp sponge, or even better, use your own glue as we can't be sure of the condition of the original adhesive.

Extremely Rare Antique Small Santa Face Scraps from L&B - Package of 18
These old German scraps were produced by Littauer & Boysen (L&B), who stopped making scraps in 1920. We're not sure of their exact printing date, but we do know they are almost 100 years old - at least!
This set of 18 Santa faces features several different images. Some appear to be the same, but at closer inspection, you'll see slight variation. Each head is a bit different, but the average size appears to be about 5/8 inch wide by 1-3/16 high.
You'll find the quality of the images to be superlative. The paper weight is a bit thicker than the reproduction scraps made today. The die-cutting is so finely executed that you can almost tear these apart, but we suggest that you trim them with delicate scissors (such as scherenschnitte scissors). The detailed embossing is amazing as well.

This gorgeous princess is dreaming of her prince. Sound asleep and waiting for a miracle, Sleeping Beauty is surrounded with flowers. This is a very old scrap.

More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts
