Carnival Painted Plaster of Paris Figure - Flapper in Pajama Pants c 1930s A3008

Given out as prizes in side-show games booths, shooting galleries and the like, these carny figures have a fascination and charm. They summon up a whole atmosphere. Until the 1950's, before plush toys, carnival prizes were often garish, colorful plaster of Paris figurines. They're fragile and easily broken, so not many vintage ones survive in good condition. We are loving the field of Carnival Plaster. She measures 15 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 4".
