Erzgebirge Watermill & Ban with Accessories Circa 1905

Deep in the rich dark forests of Bavaria in Southern Germany, (commonly known as the "Black Forest"), the firm Erzgebrige, in 1910 made this wonderful Automaton - A solitary yet happy Farmer standing alongside his Barn and Mill. Complete with all of the original accessories, the Bavarian forests provided a rich and plentiful supply of the wood needed to make such magnificent toys as this example. Such was the charm and skill of these woodworkers, that each toy produced by hand was unique in its own right, with no two pieces being identical.
