The crib

This crib consisted of 12 references is of unknown origin. However there are many similarities with the tales of "Cafés of Paris" (see HERE). The height, the engraving, the base and the small rectangle for the location of a brand are totally identical.
The scale is 40 mm, excepted Jesus who, for more visibility is in the scale 54 mm
All figures have their name engraved in French on the front of the base, with the exception of Jesus, Three Kings and animals.
A totally identical white version also exists.

These characters, as many of the others, must be proposed by the manufacturers and not ordered by the distributors. It explains that we find these figures under diverse brands and that it's sometimes impossible of find the precursor.
