CASPER (Harveytoons / Paramount) figural votive candle holder

CASPER (Harveytoons / Paramount) wooden pull-toy

  This beauty is a wooden pull-toy of Casper the Friendly Ghost, probably dating back to the later 1950s or earlier 1960s.  When the cord is pulled, the toy's red wooden wheels roll smoothly across the floor and Casper's arms alternate between which goes up and which goes down, alternately hitting the metal bars on top of the pull-toy's surface to give it a clanking xylophone-type sound.  The two red wooden parts that strike the metal bars are somewhat different from one another (one is a hemisphere and the other is a full sphere), so one may be a replacement piece.  Both look to be around the same age, though, and it is possible that the factory where this item was made used different types of wooden strikers for this toy.  The paper litho on both sides of the toy is completely intact with only minor surface wear.  Both sides show Casper flying in the air beside pictures of Little Audrey, Baby Huey, Spooky, and Buzzy Crow, all of whom are shown inside of yellow stars.  This toy is 10.5" tall and 9" wide.  It is complete and undamaged, with minor wear.  It is in EX to EX+ condition and is in amazingly clean, bright condition especially for its age.  It's a rare one . . . and a gem, too!
