American Chestnut Gift of the Giver Figurine
Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent
Dimensions: 7”x 3.5” x 5.5”
Once upon a time - in the late 1990s - The American Chestnut Company produced folk art figurines. And they were/are adorable!
This particular figurine - Gift of the Giver - shows a little bear giving Santa a gift. Apparently little bears are kinda American Chestnut’s thing. Or Santa’s thing.
I spent an incredibly long time looking for information on the American Chestnut Company. I found nothing about the folk art figurines. But I DID learn about the actual American chestnut.
Did you know that the American chestnut was close to extinction?? Here’s an excerpt from The History of the American Chestnut:
The history of The American chestnut and its relationship with humans is a tale of bounty, tragedy, and ultimately, of hope and redemption.
Pretty dramatic, right? You should definitely read the entire article!
