Early Folk Art Whirligig Man (or Whirling Arms Toy) Collection Jim Linderman




Early Folk Art Whirligig Man (or Whirling Arms Toy.) Lovely wear and paint on this small spinning arms whirligig or toy.  There is an old wire mechanism (seen on reverse) which allows the arms to rotate and move back and forth.

    He has a wonderfully smug look, doesn't he?

    Is that a tattoo on his chest?

    I'm thinking if Barbie met him first Ken wouldn't even be a footnote.
