Sweet Old Czech Rampwalker Dog drawings with poems Balls measure between 1 1/8"

Balls measure between 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" in diameter

It's the patterns of the kimono of the three figures that really makes it for me--so elegant

which included a wonderful collection of mid-century art and design

and is set off perfectly against a bold yellow ground

which I think may have previously been the case

Sweet Old Czech Rampwalker Dog drawings with poems Balls measure between 1 1/8"I've had a number of these old Czech "ramp walkers" characters in the shop, and never grow tired of them. The name refers to the fact that if you place them on a surface at a slight incline, they will walk themselves down it, with significant speed! I've seen a few other dogs, which this one is meant to be, but never one in such great shape, with snout, twine tail, paper arms, and all the paint still well in tact. C. 1930s, and a great walker he is! 4
