WW2 British, Homefront, Sweet Packaging, Christmas, 1939.

Striking the pose and silhouette of a typical British ‘Tommy’ and reminiscent of ‘Old Bill’ this figurine was manufactured to contain sweets and sold in the run up to Christmas 1939. One of four designs available; sailor, airman, policeman and soldier, this soldier was by far the most popular.

Manufactured from papier Mache and hand painted it stands in very good condition.
