Nativity woodcut engraving, signed "Weihnacht" and the artist "Gg. Ledbanair"
There have been some responses: but no information has come up regarding an artist with this name, so still need help here. It is not dated, but considering the framing I would think 1900-1920s. Dimensions of the engraving: ca 8,50 x 11cm. |

It is a glass holder with which could be a stopper at the top. It is open at top and bottom. You can see a trace of possibly some liquid in the glass holder. If there is a stopper then the hanger is the wrong way around. Possibly I am showing it upside down? The red ribbon has a weight, sewn in at the end. I found this in a box with other Christmas items and at first sight I thought it was an oil light. But when home and upon inspection I was puzzled, and still am. Anyone an idea? Need more fotos, just ask. |

Now this air balloon is classified as cotton, but after looking at it in more detail I am not sure. Furthermore when I tried to stick a thin needly in it, I could not. The balloon is covered with a hard material that glissens here and there. It reminds me of tragant, but the ball is very lightweight, so the "dought" should be covering for instance a glass ball. When tapped, it gives a sound that it could break. The four soldiers have been cut-out from rather thick white cardboard and together with the signal flags they are WW1. |
|||
Two ovals, base is a real egg, covered with colored wool. At first I thought the cream colored bands were tragant or macaroni, but they are soft to the touch and a close-up reveals nothing. Could they also be wool? Help needed here. |

Solved:
The hook should be straight, as shown in the next picture. On it should be positioned a shade, which then rotates when the candle is lit; this shade does not fit - just an example – it is of another system. |
![]() ![]() An example of a complete system, but possible younger. |

Made of papier-maché, they all have a hole in the base; I have no idea what they were intended for. Maybe a candy containers with the box missing ? Could be to place over a light, but they are too heavy for the tree and I think it would not shine through. They are shown under the headings "Papier maché and Plaster - all others" and "Candy containers". Solved: According to Daniela they are indeed candy containers, missing their insert . |
