It seems that Spring has a special meaning for all of us this year. But even as we turn to new beginnings, there are those of us who cherish the past. Historians would say that we must know what went before if we are to understand the present, and that is certainly true. But for collectors, there is a simpler rationale. It is nostalgia for a gentler time. Enjoy Dollmaster's Wonderland, Spring 2013, grown-up gifts and collectibles celebrating yesterday's gentler childhood. For collectors, by collectors. ♥

R e d B a n ta m M i d ge t C a r The 1930s saw the rise of hand built model race cars which were actually used by hobbyists to race around specially designed wooden tracks at speeds approaching 150 miles per hour. Incredibly detailed and aerodynamic, these miniature race cars were beyond toys; they were pieces of art representative of the best pioneering technology of the era. Our reproduction is no different.

Cl assic Artist Model of Horse Young aspiring artists require models to study. If that young artist happens to live in a city, he might have a hard time finding a real horse to pose, which is the exact reason that for centuries models this detailed have been produced. Twenty points of articulation in the legs allow for every motion pose between a stand-still and a gallop, and a uniquely-designed segmented neck with a hinged head allows for seemingly infinite head posing. It also makes an elegant display piece on its own just as the original models have done since the 1800s. 10". GH-353. $125.

W ee F o r e s t F o l k s Dollmasters is delighted to introduce a family of fanciful miniature mice, handcrafted in the USA by the Petersen family since 1972. Annette Petersen crafted her first little mouse nearly four decades ago, and today is joined in the wee mouse world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next generation of Petersens. They describe their creative process this way. "We make the mold, cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge.

Meticulous hand-painting and an enormous amount of patience and time brings each sculpture to life". All of the Wee Forest Folks are hand-crafted entirely in the small town of Carlisle in eastern Massachusetts.

A H o m e o f T h e i r O w n f o r t h e W ee F o r e s t Folks The delightful wooden box was originally designed by the Petersen’s to display their Wee Forest Folks at shows.

But soon they found that collectors were also clamoring to own the box so they could showcase their own little family of mice, and keep them safe at the same time.

Entirely handmade in the Wee Forest Folk Massachusetts studios with hand-painted scenes on the sides, crest and background, and electrified so you can easily watch the little ones at play. 11 x 6 ½" x 14". WF-026. $340. ♥ W h o L i ve d I n A S h o e Honestly, a family of mice living in a shoe doesn’t seem as unrealistic as the old lady and her children, but it is a lot more adorable. Eight mice, including a mother mouse, two baby mice and five cavorting child mice, adorn the showcase vignette. 4". WF-065. $425. ♥
