Antique Pipe Smoking Chalkware Cat Colorful - $5






Antique Pipe Smoking Chalkware Cat Colorful - $5
This old pipe smoking cat never got the message about smoking not being good for your health!

This is an old carnival prize probably from before the 1950's -(When chalkware was the material of choice, before plastic was used as a cheap material for these prizes).

This guy is really a bank and is over 12 inches tall.

It was one of those very hard to get prizes.

He has chips and flakes and is a flake himself. :o) But can be yours for just $5.00.

How cheap can one be! Great for your collector friends.
