The Railwayman Smoker is a simple yet impressive smoker figure from Gunter Krauß, based in the idyllic Kühnheide region. The Krauß company consciously relies on traditional craftsmanship to bring its customers a sense of down-to-earthness and Erzgebirge customs. Each figure is meticulously handcrafted and adorned with lovingly crafted accessories, giving it its unique charm.
The Railwayman Smoker is a lovingly crafted, highly detailed figure depicting a classic railway supervisor. He wears a dark blue uniform with gold-colored buttons and a red conductor’s cap adorned with gold trim. His distinctive white mustache is striking, complemented by soft, white synthetic hair on the sides of his face. His cheeks are tinted pink, and his red nose gives him a friendly appearance.
In his left hand, the Railway Worker smoker holds a green departure shovel, a typical tool used by railway workers to safely dispatch trains. In his right hand, he carries a pair of ticket validating pliers, which he uses to validate tickets. A ticket is already in the pliers and bears the inscription “Fahr schnell B” (Travel fast B).
A radio, essential for communication in railway operations, is attached to his chest. He wears a brown bag with a red strap, which serves as a storage space for important items.
His cigar, which he holds relaxed in his mouth, is particularly distinctive. As a smoker, he can emit smoke from his mouth and nose, giving him a lively, authentic appearance.
In front of him is a small switchboard, emphasizing his professional environment. Another detail is a wooden signal sign lying on the ground.
With its loving details, this smoker embodies the world of railways and is a perfect addition for railway enthusiasts and collectors of traditional smokers.
