  This is a 5.25" vinyl squeak toy of Splinter, who is shown holding a red hand mirror in her right hand as he holds her right arm akimbo at her hip.  She has a pink bow in her hair and a pink skirt.  When her head is squeezed, she gives off a pretty hearty squeaking sound.  The copyright information does not indicate who manufactured this item or when it was made, but it probably dates to the 1970s.  It is free of damage and has only slight paint wear, leaving it in NM to NM+ condition.  It's a nice example of a relatively rare squeak toy.

SPLINTER & KNOTHEAD (Woody Woodpecker / Walter Lantz) chalk wall plaques

  This is a rarely-found pair of chalk or plaster wall hangings of Woody Woodpecker's niece and nephew, Splinter and Knothead.  Both of them are mounted onto the cardboard box shown in the picture, which is how they were originally sold.  He is 5.5" tall and is shown wearing a lime green bowtie.  She is just under 5" tall and is shown with a purple shirt collar and a black bow in her hair.  No copyright information is visible on these items, probably because it appears on the backs of the plaques in the area that is affixed to the cardboard box.  In all likelihood, they date to the 1960s.  He is in mint condition.  Unfortunately, she has not survived the years equally well:  At some point, her pony tail broke off and was reglued.  The regluing job is a neat one, but a few small crumbs of the chalk/plaster were too small to reglue and no longer exist with the item, leaving a few very small chunks missing.   As a result, determining the condition of this item is difficult--one is in mint condition and the other is in Fair condition, due to the damage and repair.  However you would choose to grade these wall plaques, they are attractive, bright, colorful, and quite difficult to find.
