Description
"Polar Lark" Comic Strip Paperweight (King Features Syndicate, 1926). Admiral Richard Byrd's 1926 expedition to the North Pole inspired this extremely cool and unusual figurine, which features the faces of several classic comic strip characters. Included on this "pole" are Jiggs and Maggie, Polly's Pop, Maud the Mule, one of the Katzenjammer Kids, Krazy Kat, Barney Google, and a few other King Feature stars of the day, on a base marked "1926 Polar Lark". The base of this heavy cast metal item has a small crack that extends to the pole, and there are a few nicks on Jiggs' top hat from being dropped, but overall, this 5.5" tall item is in Very Good condition. Listed in Hake's Price Guide to Character Toys with values ranging from $175 to $675.Auction Info
