Old Handmade Wooden Acrobat Squeeze Toy, Orange and Blue my mothers chair but also as the evocation

but also as the evocation of two bodies pressed snugly up against one another when placed side by side

to cheer my lot / A vow which raised sweet pleasure's glow / And seal'd my bliss - "forget me not"

I found this piece at a fantastic antique shop in Hew Hampshire filled with extraordinary things

I believe this small Chinese carved wooden horse dates to the 1930s or 40s

otherwise great vintage condition

Old Handmade Wooden Acrobat Squeeze Toy, Orange and Blue my mothers chair but also as the evocationAs previously noted, I have a hard time resisting these old acrobat squeeze toys when the acrobats themselves are really good, which I think this guy most definitely is! I love his egg shaped body, and especially the Easter egg like paint job on it, perfectly complemented by striped sleeves and tights. And the ^ shaped raised eyebrow and red lined open mouth and those funny little shoes! are the perfect final touches! Very good condition and works
