vintage nativity set

15 years ago

I'm looking for a nativity set that was popular in the late 70's to early 80's. I'm thinking it was made by Holland molds, but I can't be sure. I've seen some similar pieces in pictures that I've seen of other Holland sets, but not the specific one I'm looking for. There are a few distinguishing pieces that put this particular set apart. The shepherds are one piece. It's an old man hovering over a young boy. Of the 3 wise men, one is standing tall. Joseph is on one knee with his hands on his knee. The baby Jesus is one piece with the manger, not detachable. These are medium to large pieces. Of the set there are the 3 wise men, the one piece shepherd, the holy family, a cow, a donkey, a few sheep, and a camel or two, maybe three. I've seen it with or without an angel. I'm sorry I don't have a picture, but if you think you might know and do have a picture, that would be great. I've searched the internet and ebay to no avail. Thanks!

Sorry for the thread hijack...
Kelly, can you please email me about your moulds. I am only a lurker here on TGW, and im used to proboards style forums so I don't know how.

Thanks, and again sorry to the OP

I think this is the set I made in the early 70's. The sheep were small and you could make as many as you wanted. I think I had 3 and I made a camel for each of the wise men. Also a couple of cows too. I wanted a lot milling around. Mary and Joseph were both separate and baby Jesus was separate too but there was a crib for him. I just gave it to my son who has wanted it for years. I also had a creche for mine it was 3 pieces and could could light it up. We ran out space to display it and since our son wanted it we gave it to him. Memories of his childhood. I have a smaller one that I bought somewhere that we use. Though some of my pieces were broken over the years I would still display it. Loved this set.
