Three Old German Painted Wooden Geese on Green Bases Sweden Marked PastoraaliFor the menagerie, three very sweet, very old, very little little painted wooden geese, German I believe, probably from an old barnyard set. It doesn't take a whole lot to sell me on old wooden animals, but I must say I think these are pretty charming! Sold as a set of three. They range from 1 1 4" to 1 5 8" tall and are about 2" long and 3 4" deep. Well worn, with some paint loss, but structurally just fine.
