Our BYERS' CHOICE KNECHT RUPRECHT, or BLACK PETER, is St. Nicholas' elvish companion. Together, they visit Dutch homes on December 5th to order look for children who have been good during the past year. Once everyone was asleep, KNECHT RUPRECHT would slide down the chimney to unlock the front door for St. Nicholas. Those children who had been good would find candy and toys in their shoes the following morning. However, if the girl or boy had been bad, St. Nicholas would instruct KNECHT RUPRECHT to leave behind coal and a switch. This adorable Caroler is all dressed up in his traditional elf costume of a green jacket with a white bib, red pants and a bright red tam on his head. He is carrying coal and switches in his hands. His face is dirty from coal dust in the chimneys. Our very sweet little BLACK PETER is in fine, vintage condition with no damage. He stands approximately 10” tall and is signed “Byers 88” on the top, at the back of his base. He has his BYERS' CHOICE hangtag on his right hand. Is this BYERS' CHOICE Caroler the one that you need to enhance your collection for Christmas? Every Christmas display needs a BLACK PETER!
