Apple Tree Girl and Apple Tree Boy

                                                                                                                                                                                                            

      Today I will tell you about a nice pairing.. the Apple Tree Girl (#141) and the Apple Tree Boy (#142).

Both were first modeled by Master Sculptor Arthur Moeller in 1940 and both have been restyled several times over the years.

These two are from the 1957 time frame.

 There are many size variations and early models have a tapered brown base.

The sizes in both have ranged from 3.50 inches to 32 inches. The two shown here are 4.0 inches.

The larger models of the girl include a bird in the tree. 

An earlier model of the boy included a feather in his cap.

Both the girl and boy motifs have been used in an annual plate (girl 1976 - boy 1977), a table lamp, and bookends.

On each figurine the retail value ranges from $99 to $29,900 depending on the year of a particular figurine's issue and it's size.
