Sweet Hand-carved Folk Art Squeeze Toy, Acrobat in Green Shorts kneeling figure and also a geography lessonIt's been a while since I grabbed a squeeze toy, but I really like the little man on this one, with his black hair and green shorts and pointy nose and chin. And with crosshatching carved into his chest on one side. Original string, and works great, with a squeeze to the posts at the bottom sending him flipping and flying around. 9 1 8 t x 2 1 2 w x 7 8 d. Excellent condition. Earlyish 20th c. I believe.
