Our Christmas tree all sorts of old fancy jewelry - including quite old Bleigieß hollow-figurine. In a book specifically about Christmas decorations I have read that these were once used as a lead figurine jewelry before they lost to New Year's Eve and melted down to interpretation were. The figures are still in the original box - this is the label of the box:
drawn the figures are melted in the spoon and poured into water. The resulting figures to interpret with wit and humor |
The sticker is on a bright red box lid, measuring 21.5 cm x 12.5 cm.

The box contents: a melting spoon, and 10 different hollow lead figurines. In some still a tiny Papierzettelchen infected with a spell. The instructions on the label stating that the figures should be drawn. Thus, then each of them a special award will be allocated.

are the lucky figures: a barrel with a tap, a money bag marked "TOTO-luck", a beer tankard , a monkey, a boot, a lucky, lucky pig, a man's head with a hat, a bell . And a bowl of flowers and a bird

In our family it is the custom on New Year's lead to water. It's great fun to interpret the self-cast products. Sometimes that is not easy and you have to rotate it around a piece of lead cooled first, and contact and the Upside down and then look at it more in the forward position ... A candle does not only with the molten lead but the lead interpreting valuable service: with it, a shadow thrown against a wall and hey presto - already it is clear which symbol have cast us.
