GENERAL INFORMATION. Schmidt Bros. salesmen were attempting to place Sebastian Miniatures nationally. One of their salesman persuaded Baston to design a Dutch pair for a gift shop in Holland, Michigan, site of the annual Tulip Festival. Only 100 sets were produced. This is a very rare Sebastian set.
