    Picked this hand made and painted paper whale up at an estate sale last month. Has the blue made in japan sticker on the bottom and whale is 4 inches long. Cant seem to find any info on it whatsoever. Is a great folk art piece and cant imagine the survivability of something like this was very high. Any info is greatly appreciated.

      Japan. And it doesn't have a harpoon in it's back? Don't take that too seriously.

      Hmmm...I always think of the blue Japan sticker as mid 50s to mid 60s. Love this guy a ton!
