Another one off the hunt list. Very recent purchase of a Western Theatre pinback premium from the 50 pin set. Purchased this on ebay, rarely see these in the local area let alone toronto. While it has some light damage I was glad to get an example for my Popeye pin collection. Popeye first appeared in a january 1929 Thimble Theatre cartoon by Segar, this character style reflects that early model design of popeye, harder, less round. Love it. Hope you enjoy.
He looks a hard man here - great piece.
Racer agreed. Prefer the earlier character models. ParamountFamous Studios fleshed him out and softened the image in the 40-60"s.
