Unusual child's nite light, that I've had for quite sometime . The head sits on the base where the lamp goes, and then the light shines out through the mouth and through the child's fingers. The electrical cord looks to be out of the 40's or 50's, but really not sure on the date. There is a name inscribed in the base that reads "Lewis Weil" pat 118522. If anyone has ever seen this piece or has any info, would you please enlighten me. Thank you!

Well i have never seen anything like this in my life.. Its very unusal and different. I don't like dolls (to much twlight zone) But this dosen't scare me.. Another great find. Thanks Heidi
Thanks Heidi, definetley different, I would have to agree with you!
Thanks for the info, ester110, this ceramic nite lite may have a completely different look at night, but anyways, different strokes for different folks. Thanks for stopping by.
Very different Chevy !!! on the white dishes with animals, I have found a small one with a chicken on it what are these worth.
Oh, sorry, I forgot to say...it's not the ceramic nite lite she has now. When I googled images of "vintage baby's head nite light" it came up with your same light, but it was sold on november 14th 2009. That's why I said the seller may remember something about it. All it takes is a short email.
There's another, on rubyplaza, but it gives no useful info. Here's the link, anyways.

Thanks ester110, it darn there looks like the same one. Chalkware makes more sense now! Thanks
Hello wingletts, ebay is a good reference on pricing them because I've seen prices all over the place, but I personally like the ones with the glass eyes. Hope this helps!
Thanks Chevy59
I have the exact same night light! Can't locate any information, so I am also curious about the value.
I have the same nightlite as you. I did notice the the night lite from Rudyplaza.com has a space between the index and second finger while ours to not. I am looking for info also, here in Michigan.
Thanks toolate2, lisa, and yardsalemama. If Jon or Linda finds out anymore info on this piece, please let me know. Thank you!
thats very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
