$128 USD Offers ConsideredMGM 1940's Laurel & Hardy Mechanical Cardboard Figures
Collectibles:Memorabilia
This is a great piece of movie memorabilia. It is 6 1/2 inches tall with scissor movements, this interesting mechanical representation shows the classic comedy duo of Laurel and Hardy and when legs are moved heads alternately bob up and down while arms tip bowler hats.

The piece has the artist name on the ...

This is such a great piece of Platinum Age comic memorabilia. It is a head bank of Foxy Grandpa circa 1905. He feels like a combination of bisque and chalk. He stands 4 inches and has some minor flea chips. He has 99% left of his original paint. There is no opening to get the money out so it is a wonder he is still in one piece.
