Vintage Halloween Jointed Diecut Smiling Skairo Cat/Bug Beistle HTF As Found For Sale

Welcome to Milkweed Antiques.
The Beistle Halloween jointed Skairo diecuts are very hard to find in any condition. This is the one labeled as a smiling bug. The head looks like a cat to me. Either way this creature has scary claw like hands with curled up toes. It is jointed at the head, the shoulders, elbows, and hands, and at the hips, knees, and feet. It is orange, black, and white. It is not embossed. It is marked on the center of the body \"Beistle - Made in U.S.A.\". This creature is approximately 27-1/2\" tall x 12\" wide with the elbows out. It was made for one year in 1931. This fun diecut is hard to find!!This guy was well loved through the years. As you can see in my pictures, the left leg is attached with a brass fastener. The right leg is taped on the \"shin\". It was completely torn through. The tip of the right ear is taped as well. As are both tips or the feet. The tip of the left ear is gone. There are several light creases. And finally, there are scuffs/nicks along the edges and one on the left leg. Please see the pictures. They help with the description. My price reflects the condition. He would be a lot more in good condition. And as you can see, he still displays quite well!!I love to consider reasonable offers. Please email offers and questions. I accept returns for any reason.
