Thank you for sharing this information by way of an advertisement, along with the date and publication title. Always great reference material to correctly identify certain things. I have all of these examples, except the Pumpkin Head, I do have a dial plate but not a complete unit.
Again thanks for sharing this with me and welcome to the CW forum. I appreciate your time and information.

@ bladerunner22, first let be comment on your screen name, Blade Runner was one of my favorite "Futuristic" films when it came out. Don't know if it has any bearing as to your "profile" name, but where my mind referenced to. Again Thanks for sharing this advertisement and hope to see a few more has you find time to post and share. I've told others and will pass along to you same... If there is a particular "Character" you'd like to see or ask about, there's pretty good possibility I might have an example or know of some reference to which you might have a query about. I've always enjoyed the "lower end" children's timepieces, as they seem to reflect fond memories for so many others than just myself..... To spark a smile or bring forth a twinkle into someone's eye by posting some of these, is it's just reward...
Again Thank you for all the "loves" you've shared on my postings and Welcome to the CW Forum, hope to see many more posting from you and possibly some of your treasures you have, be it glass, toys, watches, phots or just about anything you might hold dear.
Regards

I have a notion you might have a few more pages and books from which you do and have done some research on different material. Will be looking forward to more contributions from you.
