Snow Babies Holiday Antiques: Part One

Video Transcript

"So, another area that you might want to consider collecting, and I don't have a lot of examples here, so I'm going to show you the book that I have called "Snow Babies, Santa's and Elves" and on the front cover you can see there are a lot of variations of things you can collect. It's been said that this is, that this was all started because of Cook and Perry's expedition, and snow babies were named after his daughter, Marie, so that's one version. And the other version, possibly started with the earlier production of snow babies in Germany. So, there's two different versions on how snow babies got started. But, you'll find that there's quite a wide range of collectibles. Here on the back of the book you can see some more examples of snow babies here, and no snow, meaning that they don't have any of the sand-type snow on top of them. And, you'll see them in the shape of homes and skaters. Full snow babies and different types of events like singing, caroling, skating, so you'll find a wide variety of snow babies to collect out there."
