SEWING BOBBLE HEAD SPACEMAN

Recommended Posts

I've had vintage bobblehead spacemen over the years but none like this.  At first glance this guy looked like others, but with further inspection it has included a pincushion on the back like WW2 figures as well as a sewing type flexible cloth tape measure that pulls out from the base.  I think it's a cold war inspired piece to attract a wider base of people. Although this one I purchased had no box I found one with box online. Made in Japan. Dist. By M.B.D. Co.  NY NY

 

I'm also adding other composition bobblehead spacemen to look for from the same time period, 50s-60s. I'm sure there are others.

I received the pin cushion measuring tape astronaut in the box as a gift a few months back. It is touched up in the same area as the one in the photo. I think it is absolutely brilliant! It's my first, I am on the look out for others.
