Tom Clark Gnome Blackie Collection Society #2025 Edition #27 Cairn Studio Signed

Blackie - Tom Clark Gnome from Cairn Studios. The number for this piece is 27, dated 1988, mold number 2025. This Gnome is retired. He measures 8-3/4" tall and 6-1/2" in diameter. New - No box The Story This one is "Blackie". This Woodspirit lives on Rattlesnake Mountain. He is known as Blackie because he gets all of his firewood and acorns from the black oak tree that grows on the highest point of Rattlesnake Mountain(approximately 4000 feet). Because the hawks like to circle this mountain, he has camouflaged his visible red hat with a black oak leaf, but was still spotted by two small snails who are hitching a ride in his basket. The coin from Romania shows a farmer planting, with the sun rising over the mountains. Blackie loves this tree so much that he is on his way to the foot of the mountain to plant its offspring. He is happy to give the snails a ride--he knows that otherwise they would not make it to the valley below before the first snowfall.
