5." Infant of Prague (B & C)	5." Infant of Prague (B & C)

This carded Infant of Prague illustrates the dual flexibility of the suction cup figures. The instructions say to unscrew the suction cup off the back of the figure and screw it back on in the hole on the underside. This particular figure is Luminous, allowing it to glow at night.

Hartland Related Literature
If finding old literature related to the Westerns isn't hard enough, finding *any* literature related to the Religious and Novelty pieces is next to impossible! It is apparent by the information in the Classified Directory of Wisconsin Manufacturers yearly books that Hartland was making Religious statues in 1950, and probably before that. A few clues come from Christmas Catalogs and cake decorating catalogs. To date, the only known dealer documents consist of three pages, listed below. Thanks to Hartland Collectibles, LLC for making these three sheets available to this site.
