My buddy Deli Guy, who is planning to set sail soon for bluer waters with his first mate, asked me to come by and take a look at a few things he was planning to scuttle and make sure he wasn't giving away some buried treasure.
Deli Guy had a box of aluminum molds of these cute little cartoon figures. They are threaded on the bottom of the metal post. I am having a temporary cartoon character brain freeze and was wondering if anyone could help figure out who these orphans really are.
They look like they were hatched somewhere between the fifties and sixties. The rubber figures were probably produced from these very molds. About eight inches, stem to stern.
If you could be specific I would appreciate it. For the sake of conversation I will give them names but I am in the dark here; Little mouse figure, Sylvester the cat, Elsie the Cow, Bambi, a lovely one with a nice deco detail verso, a shmaltzy little bird and Dumbo.
I have duplicates of some of these as well. Maybe we can find them a new home?
Are these critters Disney, Hannah Barbera or what? I have to believe that some one in the blast universe can reveal their true identities and shed light on what we are holding. If it was Zap Comics or Your Mother's Oats I would have instant recall but unfortunately I had my coming of age in a different era. Wasn't paying attention.

Looks like Sylvester the Cat, the Chickenhawk who bedeviled Foghorn Leghorn, Elsie the cow's daughter (Bordens glue), and Snuffles (?) the mouse. That's all I got.

I am with you except for the chickenhawk. This one is gaggingly cute. Thanks for the Snuffles, E. Totally lost on that one.
I think they are warner bros.
Deli Guy.
