I think that in the collection at Chinqua-Penn Plantation, Reidsville, NC, (a 1920's mansion and grounds) there were several creches, with figures, critters, etc. of European origin and from a variety of periods and made of different materials. I'm not there now so I don't know what's been done with them (analytically). Linn
