Sweet Old Wounded Spotted Dog Ramp Walker stacking blocks tree and reinsertedWhen I first discovered ramp walkers I thought they were the most charming and unexpected looking little things and I still do! They were a folk toy made in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s, and if you place them on a surface at a slight incline they will walk themselves down it, often with significant speed! What I like most about them is that they were made to represent a variety of animals and people too, (Ive had a parrot, and a nurse, and a pig)
