Two Larger Angels, but each with small issue. Early 1900s German Die-cuts 5.00 by 8.00", with one on the left, missing one foot. The one on the right is missing the top part of the star, and one foot as well. Originally, these intricately cuts were designed for middle-class families to paste into family scrap albums. They were used for greeting cards, memory books, and decorating. Germans quickly began using the shiny paper figures as inexpensive, lightweight ornaments for Christmas trees. Bakers also used the embossed designs to top traditional German Christmas cookies and decorate marzipan. These ornaments being listed today are vintage, not reproductions. I guarantee that. I start all my auctions at .99 cents as it is an auction and I just never cared when I went to live auction and the auctioneer started very high, and then spent time backing down to get a bid. I know it is a low bid, but that is how I list every item on Ebay. I am more than happy to combine postage to save money. Just let me know you are multiple bidding and I will invoice you when you are finished bidding and wish for me to send the items. Then, I will combine postage and send to you, and send final invoice. If any questions about this, please email me.
