Description
This is a figurine of Popeye’s friend Wimpy that was acquired from an estate. I have no idea of the age. I was told that he might be from the 1930’s? He is 13 ¼” tall. He has an arm full of hamburgers and is eating one. Appears to be made of hollow cast chalkware. Marked on the back with a copyright C symbol and K.F.S for King Features Syndicate. He is in nice vintage condition for his age. There is some wear and nicks to the painted surface. One finger on his hand has a small piece missing. It has some of what looks like the base coat of paint on the finger spot and to me it looks like a flaw when he was made rather that later damage? He could easily be restored if you would want to do that. The front base says “YOU BRING THE DUCKS”. In the comic strips Wimpy was known for his saying "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today". He also would invite people over to his house for a duck dinner and then when he was far away from them he would call out “You bring the ducks”. A very nice Popeye collectable!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
