J. Chein Popeye Overhead Puncher
One of J. Chein’s best windup toys ever produced and is now offered by the “PA TOYS OF TIMES PAST” collection. C. 1932. One of the nicest and best action of the pre-war Popeye toys. Still has bright colors with a few dark spots here and there. There is no on and off switch, you wind him up and he punches at the bag. This is the original bag and string. The pipe is original as some have been broken off and replaced with a reproduction. There is some wear to the top circular panel above Popeye figure. There are nice lithographed characters of Oliver Oyl, Popeye and others on the base. It is marked "1932 King Features Syndicate" and "Segar," who did the cartoons and has a cigar mark, which he often used. It has a reproduction windup key which fits under Popeyes right arm. The lithographed base shows Popeye with boxing gloves saying "Blow Me Down."
