For a special collector From my personal collection…. Super RARE Charles Lindbergh Blown Glass Christmas Figural made in Germany c. 1920’s Delightful design… Measures 6.75 I’ve never been able to find another like it… Though I’ve spent many hours on line browsing and thumbing research books and catalogs! I’ve had variations of the two known designs…. One with head molded onto a free-blown barrel shaped body… Chenille arms and legs attached to indents in the body…. And the “old” version of the 2″ Lindbergh”head. Both of these are rare… But this ornament rates as Super Rare! The molded head wears an aviator’s cap on top with rectangular googles propped up across the front… Ear cups cover his ears. The cap fastens under the chin (see narrow straps embossed in front of the ear cups). The cap is gold lacquered and the youthful face is a soft white with painted black eyes and brows and peachy painted checks. The lips have lost some of their red paint… But enough remains to show off the mouth. The head is mounted on a stylized body… Rounded through the mid section…. Narrowing drastically in what you’d think of as the leg section… Much like a funnel in shape. (most of the original silvering remains). A thin stripe of white (mica) accents the neck and the bottom of the rounded mid section…. A red lacquered stripe is next to both of the white stripes. 6 red buttons are double spaced in 3 tiers across the front and a blush of red remains scattered through the mid section highlighting the silver backing. The metal cap that came with the ornament covers the minor chipping of the pike…. I added a couple of pics for you to see this area. The cap holds firmly and no unevenness is visible. I will include a slightly deeper metal cap from the same period and you can choose which you’d prefer. This is an opportunity to add a very rare and delightful design to your collection! Such a special ornament should be displayed somewhere it could be enjoyed by many Christmas enthusiasts every year! Please keep checking in my Christmas Store! And I have many boxes of 12 ornaments ready to list in addition to numerous singles and smaller lots… AND lots of other great Christmas treats from the past! SO, I’m making an effort to shorten my descriptions! I “will” make note of anything more than very minor wear. Many hours are spent searching for the best vintage ornaments, both to fill my boxes and to offer special individual ornaments and items in the hope that they will be taken out with great pleasure year after year.
