Ok, we’re drooling. Who wouldn’t be at the thought of the tasty delights brought to us by the people at KFC. The fried chicken restaurant chain’s spokesperson Colonel Harland Sanders speaks to the collecting world with this trio of 1960s-1970s figures. Dressed in his trademark snow white suit, our favorite chicken peddler steps forward in (3) different renditions, with:
c.1967 ceramic bobble head with "Our Colonel" base decal. The head is detached but readily repairable, a single hairline crack is noted in front of the left ear, there is a small gouge in the hair above the right eye and the head opening shows typical moderate wear. The body has just one small chip on the edge of the jacket at rear. Both gloss and paint are strong and the decal is nearly full with just a pinpoint spot of wear.
1970s plastic bobble head with "Kentucky Fried chicken" raised lettering on the front of the base and the factory identification "Paramount RP" on the back of the base. This piece is in overall excellent condition with deference to some light traces of soiling on the base and a color break along a seam in the hair at left.
1972 plastic coin bank promotional giveaway from KFC restaurant opening in Canada. Reporting in excellent condition, this faux sculpture stands 9-1/2" tall with a 3-1/2" wide base. Raised lettering on the front of the base reads "Col. Sanders," underside states "Canada" and "Margardt Corp. 1972."
