This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/10/2010
A vegetable man with radish arms, zucchini legs, walnut feet, and watermelon head with an expressive toothed "cheese" grin. Clockwork mechanism contained within head, activates eyes which flirt from right to left. Simulated apron and vest cover vegetable body. Most likely the only known example and probably originally used in a store as an "attention grabber". This undoubtedly would be the cornerstone of any great Halloween collection. Some in-painting to right arm, removable stem on top of head was originally missing and one was recreated in papier mache.
Condition: (Very Fine Plus).
Item Dimensions: 17 - 1/2" T.
