What I would be interested in finding out was the price of moulds in the 1920s and how relatively expensive or inexpensive they were. I would like to find out something of their wider place in society and childhood. I fear I will need to learn to read German to do that, something I should have attempted long ago!tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-14620572653134987082021-05-12T07:07:13.782+01:002021-05-12T07:07:13.782+01:00I hope we see your efforts on your blog when the w...I hope we see your efforts on your blog when the weather and time permit.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-81179406146485847872021-05-12T07:06:23.240+01:002021-05-12T07:06:23.240+01:00If you ever find the link Phil to the painted vers...If you ever find the link Phil to the painted version please let me know.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-38466295008871728272021-05-11T16:59:45.818+01:002021-05-11T16:59:45.818+01:00What a delight!
