Bromsnor

For the 😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄 theme: "Childhood Memories", I present to you: 'Bromsnor' (however without his mustache).

He was the old-fashioned constable from a TV children's series 'Swiebertje'.

In the street where I lived, was one older single lady and only she had a tv in that time. All the children went to her place on Wednesday afternoon to watch this series. It was fun ;-))

 

Swiebertje is a series of Dutch children's books, written from 1936 by John Henri uit den Bogaard, and a Dutch television series based on the books, broadcast by the NCRV in the 60s and 70s.

'Swiebertje' is a "lovable vagabond". During his wanderings, he always got in trouble. 'Bromsnor' seized every opportunity to lock Swiebertje in the 'cage under the tower', without any clear form of trial. Often there was a misunderstanding in which Swiebertje was falsely accused of something, but it always ended well.

 

"Bromsnor" was quite grumpy, but also had a big heart in the right place. In real life he had a black mustache and absolutely no red hair and wearing two shoes, unlike this figure (artistic freedom shall we say? ;-))

However, over the years, the red moustache has disappeared...... and to my big surprise there was a sensual mouth underneath. But also the rest of the body and clothing are subject to the ravages of time.

 

He is sitting on the floor in an old bathroom, that will be renovated soon. What to do with Bromsnor……..?

 

Happy Crazy Tuesday everyone ;-))
