My items for today. We do have goodies that are not toys,lol
These are made of all wood and measure about 16 inches high with fingers extended. We have two of these.
I'm going to mark them unsolved because I could not find much information on the Max Mayer's Glove co.
I could guess but would like to get a date for these.
Thanks, Tom
I love it! That would make a great display piece for my gold and silver rings...hehehe....

1940's appx . These were originally made as artists hands to use as model to paint a hand and were also used by companies that added their own stand to display gloves ect . Very nice and also nice value on it ! Still being made today for artists but not same construction . It would be called a mannequin hand on your marked base .Love it
Thanks Mani, those are the key words I needed, mannequin hand. I saw the new one s but didn't follow up on them.
This one differs from the new ones in that only the index finger and thumb are full jointed. I found the exact hand mounted on a metal flexible base that sold on etsy but no price. They said it was from the 30's.
I figured 30's - 40's based on where we got it and how it's made.
I'm going to send the etsy dealer a note in hopes of more info.
Thanks for the comments and all the loves.
Max Mayer's Glove Company was run by my grandmother, Clara Blaschka. Max Mayer was her uncle.
