Christmas felt ornaments from Japan
I got a few of these ornaments today that have felt clothing.
Are there any ornament collectors out there that may have seen these in their travels?
Any idea what decade they may be from? I searched around but only found pixies and elves and knee huggers.
The packaging has a boot on one side and both side on some, on others, it has a boot and then a picture of (presumed) wise men.
They are about six inches tall.
The boxes are marked Made in Japan and B59 on back.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

My best guesstimate on these would be 1960ish.
There were a lot of this type of ornament made around then,
and trying to track down the specific manufacturer could be quite a challenge.
Here’s a great group of collectors that may be able to help,
and there’s links to Christmas sites that may also have info.
