Item Details
Description
Originating from the Heddon factory archives, c1927. Unfinished, utilizing a molded Basser head hinged to a Luny body, 4 1/4" overall, rigged with the earliest toilet seat hook hanger, and a factory handwritten "OK" faintly penciled on the back. With wear, crazing and a mouth chip, the body with only light wear/soiling and minor glue residue. Purchased from the highly respected Heddon collector Walt Blue. An exceptional example of Heddon's ingenuity and constant progress, we are unaware of another example.
