Gang of Eight Old German Erzgebirge Wooden Animals leaning toy 5 1/4" across at handleI just can't resist these old German animals when I find them except when they are exorbitantly priced, as they sometimes are, as these have become pretty precious. This gang I would think merges a few from a Noah's Arc set (the camel at least!) with a few others from a farm set. Certainly the little white one with red collar is a dog, and the pink one a pig, and I think there's a black sheep too, but I'm not completely certain about the rest! Sold as
