Vintage German Smoker TOY MAKER VENDOR One Owner, Superb, 1980s, GDR, Perfection

  
The smoker or "rauchermanner" was designed to burn incense, a German custom for blessing hearth and home. Each wood figure represents a folk character handcrafted in charming detail with a quaint personality all its own.

Many of o urs came from the eastern region called the German Democratic Republic (GDR) before reunification in 1989. This smoker is from a superb, one owner collection of GDR figures. They are among the most desirable of 1980s figures for their unique design, wood grain and color mixing and added features for characterization detailing. All were produced by woodcrafting families through the Expertic sales and exporting cooperative. Height is 7.5 inches high, loaded with a tray of toys and more, bottom labeled.

Condition is simply outstanding and never used. Clean recycled materials always used in packaging. NSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Lift off the top section and light the incense cone (available locally or online in varying fragrances) placed on the metal holder.

Replace the top and the smoker will puff smoke through the mouth!
