We are basing our date, of this picture, on the dresses of the little girls, the dollies they are playing with and the picture on the back. This piece was cut out of a scrap book and the back picture are three ladies in clothing that was worn in the early part of last century. The children are having tea and playing with dolls. It is our guess these little girls are the children of a farm or plantation worker. The picture is glued to the scrapbook paper. The picture measures about 3 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches.

This mug comes from the Tucher brewery in Nuremberg, Germany. They have used the Moor's head logo since the year 1300 which it first appeared in their coat of arms. We purchased it from an the estate of a gentlemen who visited German in the early 1950s so we are assuming this was purchased at that time. It is very nice....heavy mug, salt type finish. At one time the mug had a lid....there is a hole on top of the handle where it once was attached. It is 5 inches tall.
