Sweet Hand-carved Folk Art Squeeze Toy, Acrobat in Green Shorts trick box I've come across old Magic

I've come across old Magic Lantern slides before

stuffed full with soft but substantial stuffing giving it a nice weight

(Details give a good sense of both color and surface

Great aged condition

but he’s smiling widely still

Sweet Hand-carved Folk Art Squeeze Toy, Acrobat in Green Shorts trick box I've come across old MagicIt's been a while since I grabbed a squeeze toy, but I really like the little man on this one, with his black hair and green shorts and pointy nose and chin. And with crosshatching carved into his chest on one side. Original string, and works great, with a squeeze to the posts at the bottom sending him flipping and flying around. 9 1 8 t x 2 1 2 w x 7 8 d. Excellent condition. Earlyish 20th c. I believe.
