Single Antique Erzgebirge House Noah's ark animals Made of pine I believeI'll be buying these old German wooden houses whenever I come across them until the end of my days, they're just so lovely. This one I believe is very late 19th c very early 20th, with terrific hand painted color; those grids of black dots for windows framed in blue and swipe of purple gray paint along the bottom in combination with that orange roof really do it for me. Never too many of these. 2 3 8" w x 2 3 16" t x 9 16" d and in very good antique
