A VERY RARE SET OF TWO CHALKWARE NATIVE AMERICAN KIDS, A BOY AND A GIRL, PLAYING DRUMS.
DATED 1954 AND MADE BY THE UNIVERSAL STATUARY COMPANY, CHICAGO.
THESE WERE PROBABLY MADE AS BOOKENDS.
BEAUTIFUL FEATURES AND DETAIL. THEY ARE MARKED WITH THE UNIVERSAL STAMP ON THE REAR AND ON THE UNDERSIDE.
THE BOY HAS HAD HIS HEAD GLUED BACK ON AND THE GLUE HAS RUN DOWN THE BACK OF HIS SHIRT AS WELL AS SOME PENCIL WRITING ON THE BACK . BOTH ARE PROBABLY QUIET EASILY FIXABLE AND IF LEFT ALONE THEY DO NOT DISTRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE FIGURES - THE BOY ALSO HAS ONE OR TWO SMALL CHIPS OR LOSS ON COLOR ON HIS NOSE AND ONE ON THIS HAND BUT AGAIN FAIRLY MINOR.
THE GIRL OF COURSE IS PERFECT !
THEY STAND ABOUT 6" HIGH AND ABOUT 5" WIDE AND DEEP.
