This cool figure is of Pinocchio with Jiminy Criket in his hand !!
The base is marked ITALIA .
He stands 8" h & his head is on a spring so wobbles & nods every time it moves..
Looks like he's made of wood but he's actually resin!!
He's in A1 condition & apparently quite rare (so I've been told).
I think the film pinocchio was made in the 1940s by Walt Disney productions!!
I found him in the back of a charity shop for £8
Hope you love him as I do ;-)
Thanks for looking
He's pretty cool Surf...not an exact copy of the Disney character but I love the way Italian designers have their own unique interpretation. Ciao !
Thanks mikelve85
For your love & cool comments , I know what U mean , every time I see a Pinocchio its a different style !! ;-)
Thanks Geode_jem for liking this little chap !! ;-)
That sticker says that it was made in PRC .... "PRC" stands for "People's Republic of China", which is the formal name for the country we simply call "China".
The Italian text says that it is a registered design of the Società MI.PA. S.R.L. SEMPLIFICATA 57, Via Biringucci Vanni - 00156 Roma .... an import/export firm I believe.
Many Thanks vetraio50 for your love and cool info !!
Very much appreciated ;-)
I do love it
Cool piece Surf and in excellent condition! With the "Italias" on the base, I wonder if it could have been a souvenir piece.
Thanks kivatinitz for your love and kind comments;-)
Thanks rick55 for your love and cool comments ;-)
Yes possibly a souvinir , there was a lable that someone had written that said its a rare design of Pinocchio brought back from Italy & a date but I can't remember the date !! The label was taken off in the shop & mislaid somewhere between there & here!!
I've been trying to find another the same on the web but nothing yet!!!
