School House Christmas ornament from Merck Family's Old World Christmas, little red schoolhouse made of mouth blown glass and hand painted with red, gold white and green details. Great keepsake ornament for those school day memories and for marking first day at school.
The little red School House was a common sight in small towns throughout the United States in the 1800s and early 1900s. With few supplies, books or individual chalkboards, all students from the first grade through the eighth were tutored by the same teacher in one simple room.
