Fabulous piece of Americana that takes us back to the purest level of 1930 childhood. From the favorite (?) sport of the American boy of this time, this was likely on display at a toy store that sold marbles (what else?). Whether this was for aggies, immies or shooters this is still the perfect piece. Lovingly detailed molded hand and arm is constructed of a composition and is heavy and significant in its design. This brilliant piece has a marble correctly tucked under its thumb ready to shoot. Professional style wood and metal bracket is placed within its scooped out back, making this a trade sign extraordinaire. One of the coolest pieces you will ever see it is a deceptively large and handpainted 9x17 and yes, figural. Beats a video game any day. EX+. From a fine Midwest collection.
