Original Vintage Halloween E. Rosen/Rosbro/TicoToys Hard Plastic Pirate Cat Candy/Sucker/Lollipop Holder/Container Ornament/Decoration 1950s
This is a Three-Day Auction for a Halloween Candy/Sucker/Lollipop Holder/Container Ornament/Decoration made in the 1950s. He is unmarked, but I have seen these listed as E. Rosen/Rosbro.../Tico Toys. Also, I have seen this little guy described as a pig man or pirate cat (I'm not sure he is supposed to be either of those, but the latter is the most popular). He has what look like a pistol and a sword tucked into his waistband. He sports a striped shirt, a tie and an eye patch, and he is about to tip his striped top hat. This is one dapper pig man pirate cat.
He is in excellent condition -- one of the best I've seen. He is made of orange hard plastic with green and black paint. No dirt, stains, chips, wear or paint loss. (Please note that any white color in the photos is glare and is not on this piece.) The seams are tight. He still has the loop for hanging; often this piece is missing. On his right side is a hole where a lollipop can be inserted. He measures 3" H x 2" W. He looks like he just rolled out of the factory. He is original, not a reproduction.
I will combine shipping costs on multiple purchases. All items will be packaged securely, are final sale and cannot be returned. They will be mailed via the U.S. Postal Service; insurance and tracking are included in the shipping cost.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and keep checking back for more of my listings (many will be One- or Three-Day Auctions) of original Halloween collectibles, including postcards, photographs, decorations, candles, candy boxes, etc. -- mostly antique and vintage, but a few newer items too.
Thank you.
