Sebastian

This Sebastian Miniature Figurine, Games in Springtime was made in 1953 and is marked: COPR 1953 / P.W.Baston / Games in Springtime / #6232 and comes with green sticker attached. Sebastian Miniatures, Folks in Little, had its birth in early 1938 when Prescott Woodbury Baston was commissioned to design a set of figurines for the Shaker Glen House restaurant in Woburn, Massachusetts. The pieces, depicting a Shaker couple, so impressed the owner of the restaurant that she ordered four dozen to sell and give away to guests, and a short time later ordered a thousand more! The success of the figurines led to the launch of Sebastian Miniatures in March of 1939. (Why Sebastian and not Baston? It sounded better!) By the time Baston passed away in 1984, his son Prescott Woody Baston, Jr. had taken over as designer. Between 1938 and 2008 an estimated 1000 different figurines had been marketed. The hand-painted pieces can be grouped according to topic - historic personages, literary characters, different occupations, pets, holidays, etc., or series, Dickens, Civil War, Lighthouse, etc. Many were withdrawn from production, only to be reissued several years later with variations in color and markings. In very good + condition without chips, cracks or fleabites she comes in her original box and measures 4 inches tall, 2 inches wide and 2 inches deep. An addition to any Sebastian Miniature Collection. SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed. If you have questions please contact me and thank you for looking.
