skeleton has a painted face & pipe cleaner limbs Door reads: The Lost W.P.A. Worker WARNING TO HUNTERS DON'T SHOOT UNTIL IT MOVES IT MIGHT BE A W.P.A. WORKER Patent No. 2,013,114 (OCCUPIED sigh hangs from the door handle) The patent is for a solid shell nut toy by inventor Aaron Smith of St. Louis, MO, dated September 3, 1935 It stands 4 1/2" at tallest X approx 3" X 3" "WPA is the abbreviation for Works Progress Administration, a program created by executive order in 1935 to provide jobs for millions of unemployed Americans. It was instituted as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and was changed in 1939 when it was moved to the Federal Works Agency. Artists were hired to create murals, paintings, drawings, and sculptures for public buildings. Pieces are marked WPA and may have the artist's name on them." Good sturdy condition held together by tiny nails * the wood could be polished but I'll leave that to the new owner
