 | This is a Goebel "co-boy" figurine dating to 1972. This figure is of "Petri The Fisherman"
This is from the first series introduced between 1971 to 1987
He stands 8 inches tall X 4 inches wide.
This is a hard to find Gnome.
He is a cute smiling guy with a fishing pole and large fish on it. He also has fish in a basket on his back, and a bucket full of fish before him
Great for any Gnome collector or Gobel collector
Bottom signed in blue Gobel, W Germany, with Well 519 and 1972
These little guys are hard to find, they have all been retired.
The forgotten Goebels – Co-Boys, Red Heads, Blumenkinder, Friar Tuck and the Cardinal, DeGrazia, and many figurines – are expected to lead the Christmas rush!
Goebel also produced a series of Co-Boys ranging from Brad the Bookworm to Walter the Jogger. These were produced between 1971 and 1987. There are only 60 in this series. Co-Boys were popular for awhile, and Goebel even produced a "second series" which featured smaller, less detailed figures. The price of Co-Boys dropped as supply met demand, but now new collectors are entering the scene and beginning to collect the first series of CoBoys. Co-Boys come from a little town of Coburg, Germany. People there had forgotten how to laugh. One day, a resident had a very bright idea to recall the forgotten world of make-believe, and Co-Boys were invented. They were patterned after town residents, such as cooks, chefs, doctors, divers, travelers, butchers, firemen, etc. One to enrich each professions! | |
