Fun 1940s Vintage Toy Brown Bear in Wood Crate with label on top reading "A GOOD LUCK BEAR from PIKES PEAK ALT. 14,110 FEET". The label has "To" and From" lines that were never filled in but we are fortunate that the original purchaser of this souvenir piece wrote the date in pen presumably from their visit to Pikes Peak of "July 12, 1942".
A neat piece! The bear is quite detailed and hand painted with a red mouth and black eyes and nose. It appears to be carved wood but I believe it is "Syroco wood", a
compression molded mixture of wood powder and thermoset resin with a
paint finish applied after fabrication making it look like carved wood. Such pieces were manufactured by the Syracuse Ornamental Company in the 1930s. Crate is made of real wood with tiny nails.
The entire piece measures just over 3-1/4" wide by 2-1/4" tall and is 1-3/8" in depth.
