The Ebay Listing as of February 11, 2013.
On November 25, 2012 a Collectible 1932 Chein, Popeye Toy Sold for $5,049.99 on eBay
The Seller dannyk described the item as: “Collectible magnificent example of one of the earliest Popeye toys ever produced. This is Chein’s No. 256 Popeye (Overhead) Bag Puncher. It’s complete with all original parts (including the bag) and in fantastic working condition. It also comes with its incredibly rare box. It’s complete and entirely original. Both the toy and box grade as the highest condition I’ve seen. This lithographed tinplate toy features a mechanical Popeye striking a suspended celluloid punching bag. The bag hangs from the ceiling of an art deco style platform which prominently displays comic characters drawn by the original artist E.C. Segar around the base. It winds using a separate key which is included. BUT best of all the toy works flawlessly”
Definitely a very nice Toy that brought a lot of attention and a great price that we decided to post it as one of our Collectibles Sold Highlights.
