Scissors sharpener and bucket carrier
Impressive range of so-called 'white goods'
Only a small selection of Gröden wooden toys were painted, and most of them were left unvarnished, known as 'white goods'. The simple mechanisms that the figures could be moved with made them fascinating objects. The body of the bucket carrier sways back and forth, while the scissors sharpener moves his feet to the turning of the wheels. Drumming monkeys, pecking hens, rocking horses, leaping clowns and lots more items were made.
