    Description

    This is / was an advertising giveaway many decades ago.
    On the back it is stamped in black ink -
    JACK O'LANTERN
    SHOES
    WALK-OVER AGENCIER
    On the front - it is a painted  flat, fairly thick figure of Steamboat Willy.
    It measures 2 1/8" x 1 5/8" (at the ears) x 1/4" thick.
    I don't know exactly what it is made of - chalkware? bisque? There is no glaze but the outside is a separate layer as you can see where a piece has been broken off at some time.
    **
    I had another ebayer contact me to say that this was an eraser that has hardened.   ??
    It is marked JAPAN on the front.
    This really old piece is in quite good condition.
    Please note - Close ups with zoom view will exaggerate details.
    There are a couple of small places where there is a surface chip of the painted top coat of the piece and there is some soiling.
    Buyer pays .00 for protective mailing.
