Just as cute as could be early 1930's carnival chalkware Kewpie style 9" bank. In above average condition, ever so slight chipping/flea bites , with 1 aged paint over of 2 chipped toes on right foot. Most of the chipping is found around coin slot which is typical for banks, no cork. Bright eyes, red lips, natural skintone not the exaggerated solid black tone found in many of the early americana pieces of the day. Kewpie style wing "buds" found directly under the ears.She's simply a cut...ie patootie !
