Here is a rare Swiss piece I was lucky to find on Ebay back in December of 2013.<\/p>\n

\"gnome_1\"<\/a> \"gnome_2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see it had some extensive damage. Most of the base was missing and it had a hole drilled in the top of the head. It also had some damage on the face, especially the nose.<\/p>\n

I wanted to have the piece fully restored for my wife’s birthday at the end of February. Unfortunately the weather here in Ohio did not cooperate and I had to give it to her partially finished.<\/p>\n

The weather has finally broke a little and I was able to get it done this week. Missy is very happy with it and it is going in our private collection.<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking,<\/p>\n
