Item Description
Smaller of two made, this is 6-3/8" tall (9.25" to top of thick wire handle) tin litho container/pail w/lid. Made in Liverpool, England by E.T. Gee & Sons.This company also produced a larger 8.25" tall Felix version w/same images, but this smaller variety features just one band of tiny walking Felix figures at top, and sides have two different Felix scenes. One is beach scene w/Felix family posing for photograph while other shows Felix riding horse through fence as angry boy chases them. Lid features same full body image of Felix w/this pail as was used on larger container. Exterior has scattered wear in the form of nicks/scratches. Rim and edges of lid show more moderate wear. Interior has luster loss and some scattered minor oxidation. Lid has 3/8" dent/line. Fine overall. Among the finest pails ever produced and one of the most desired, especially in this condition. Ex-Doug & Pat Wengel Collection, this is the actual example shown in their book "Comic Character Metal Sand Toys." Thom Carchedi Collection.
