Vintage Wind-Up Squirrel

This vintage squirrel made me squeal! Sure, his ears are gone and he look a bit fragile — but look at those eyes and that fluffy tale!  And yes, it works — hes’ got a super-cute hop! Spotted at Exit 55 Antiques (where hubby and I are working today).

Wiggle Waggle

Vintage Wiggle Waggle Alps wind-up toy dog — you wind him up and his head wiggles (bobbles) and his tail wag-gles!

This vintage toy is plastic, measures roughly 6 inches tall — and, yes, he works!

There’s a blue paper / cardboard label on the bottom with Alps and Made In Japan printed on it. If you love the Wiggle Waggle, don’t dilly dally — he’s going away for free at Listia right now! (If you don’t know what Listia is, (here’s my review.)
