tan belt buckle with his name on it. In his right hand, he holds a tan handle of a
blue shovel. The hat unscrews to allow access to where the shampoo originally was
stored. This item is in NM+ condition, with a single spot of paint loss on Smokey's
muzzle being its only flaw.

SMOKEY BEAR mug
This is a 3.5"
ceramic mug showing Smokey Bear sitting on a log that rests on a grassy
area. He holds a shovel in his left hand and waves with his right hand,
while looking off toward his left side. The image of Smokey is provided in
raised-relief on the side of the mug. The mug is white in color with a
green handle, and it has a black, block lettering caption stating Prevent
forest fires! This item is undamaged and it has no paint loss, leaving
it in virtually perfect condition. The black marks beneath the caption were
fired onto the item beneath the glaze when it was manufactured. This item
probably dates to the 1950s or 1960s and there is no indication anywhere on it
as to who made it.

SMOKEY BEAR soaky -- large size
This
is an 11" vinyl soaky of Smokey Bear, who is shown wearing a yellow forest ranger hat
and blue pants. In his left hand, he holds a shovel near the digging part; in his
right hand, he holds a short wooden sign. Originally, this sign probably had a paper
label on it warning us to prevent forest fires. If that is, indeed, the case, then
that paper label is entirely worn off. Since the base of the soaky bears this
warning, though, it is also possible that the wooden placard never had any message on it.
This item was manufactured by Lander Company, probably during the 1970s. It
has minor paint wear on Smokey's pants and some surface wear on the glossy foil sticker on
the base below Smokey's feet. There are no chips, cracks, or breaks anywhere on the
item.
