Old Dutch Professions in handpainted Pewter
Nostalgy with handpainted pewter figurines.
We discovered these figurines , made of 97 % tin , representing Old Dutch Professions. Old memories revive with the Tinsmith, Chimney Sweeper, Street Announcer, Scissors Sharpener, Wheel Maker, Bricklayer and Barrel Maker . Dating until 1996, when we sold these beautiful gift items in our retail business in Amsterdam. Average high 6 to 8 cm ( 2,36 inch to 3,14 inch ) and made from solid pewter. In the 1980 period a young Dutch artist started to paint these items. By coincident we discovered recently these beautiful gifts in a box . For the Pewter lovers we we will offer these gifts from the past for a special price. Consumer price 25 euro for each figurine .

Made by the famous Tin factory Daalderop , located in the Tin Town Tiel . For more than 30 years we have been selling their Pewter items to tourists from all over the world. Unfortunately a recession in the Eighties meant the end of the Pewter Production. In other words the remaining Pewter gifts we present , have historical value and are real collector items.
