Item Description
Each piece is about 2” tall and made of metal in very high relief about .5” thick with opening on back showing the sharpening blade and with opening under the bow tie for insertion of the pencil. The first of these is marked “Germany” and portrays man with polka dot tie. Bits of paint off some of the higher areas including his nose and chin plus a little scratching on the top surface of his top hat but still overall appearance is clean and Fine. Second item is marked on reverse “Made In Occupied Japan” with bluish-green metallic paint. The front of the piece shows man with bow tie having narrow stripes. Hardly any paint wear and condition is Exc. Third item also reads the same as the second and with basically the same reverse coloration but front of the piece has small differences including wider stripes on the bow tie and this piece is just a little smaller than the previous. Small paint loss on nose, lips and cheek but still clean and Fine.
