Colorful Old Wooden Acrobat Squeeze Toy on Stand pastel landscape its face looks to me

its face looks to me just like that of a big kitten

and I don't believe it's design could be improved upon at all

I'm always on the hunt for good boxes

but as framed it does not jump out much

very well worn and chipped at this point

Colorful Old Wooden Acrobat Squeeze Toy on Stand pastel landscape its face looks to meI find it impossible to resist these old acrobat squeeze toys when the acrobats are as good as this guy. How to resist this delightfully goofy, hand painted pink face, coupled with the fantastic turquoise and yellow of his outfit? I'd think he dates to the early 20th century, and extra nice that there is a base to squeeze handle, making for easy tabletop display. It takes a couple of squeezes to get him going, but once one does he's very acrobatic!
