Has holes for ribbon/twine to hang. Antique Victorian decorative oil Lamp Pull'Swinger' Figures are very rare and highly collectible! This one features a boy with a hat, on a swing and his little sister on his lap.
Just add silk ribbon or twine and you have a wonderful decorative piece! She has a kiln mark on her forehead. He has a kiln spot on back of his sleeve. It is beyond me how these were used to pull an oil lamp on!
Seems most were just hung as decoration and highly collected as it appears by the near mint condition. Numbered on his shoe 44. Two sets of Numbers also scratched into bottom of the swing seat. Most likely German 1880s or so...
