Satchel Eye Dyer (Farmer) 1976 Sebastian Miniature #63B -

Sebastian Miniature #63 - Satchel Eye Dyer (Farmer)   

In 1946, Bastion designed a pair for his new distributor, Schmid Bros.  He took two characters from John Gould's Down-East story "The Farmer Takes a Wife," Satchel-Eye Dyer and his wife.   No one knew who Satchel-Eye Dyer was, so Bastion changed the title to "Farmer' two years later.

This partular piece was produced in 1976 as indicated by the green label.   Measures 3 1/8" tall with a base measuring 3/4".   Each piece is hand painted so variances in color are expected.

This piece does not have the original box, but a nice gift box will be included.

Sebastian Miniatures are a series of small castable ceramic (chalkware) sculptures or figurines first produced by Prescott W Baston Sr. in 1938 until his death in 1984. Each miniature produced is hand painted with meticulous detail.   No two look exactly alike.
