1940s Howel's Root Beer Jointed Wood Figure Trapeze Advertising Premium Toy

Description

"DRINK HOWEL'S ROOT BEER" TRAPEZE TOY
- 1940s or earlier (marked Made in U.S.A.). Approx. 2.5" x 8.5". Color litho on painted orange wood.
An uncommon advertising giveaway premium featuring a die-cut likeness of Howel's impish Brownie-like mascot.
To operate this jointed mechanical toy, you push the bottom two pieces of wood together and the figural mascot flips up & all around. A very neat working advertising piece.
Condition is considered GOOD with moderate surface/stain/edge wear. No wood cracks, chips or regluing. No oxidation on joint bolts. Top cord has probably been restrung. Toy movement is very good and highly animated.
