The buyer received a true bargain here. This roly-poly was produced by Beistle in 1930-31. Beistle produced four designs of nearly the same size and four designs that were about two inches taller. (Turn to pages 226-227 to see some examples.) Of the smaller designs, the witch is arguably the best one - although I am more partial to the welcoming scarecrow. (The owl is forgettable.) These trade WELL above the BIN price of $20 the seller placed on his lot of two items. This was a true score. Congratulations to Matt and Sabrina.
