Item Description
3-5/8" wide by 31.5" tall by 3/8" thick wood with colorful chromolith images of comic characters climbing ladder. 41 off-set nails are attached on either side of printed ladder. To be used as tumbling toy although tumbler is missing. Unauthorized but with near exact likenesses of Happy Hooligan, Buster and Tige, Alphonse & Gaston, Hans, Fritz, Der Captain and Mama from The Katzenjammer Kids as well as sailor character. c. 1910. Scattered rippling to paper with some lifts as is often the case when printed paper is applied to wood, due to wood shrinkage as it ages. Scattered surface dust. .25" area of glue residue on "Ladder" in title. Fine overall.
