Jointed Little Piggy in the Schoenhut Manner carved match safe The silver paintedI found this little pig sitting next to a Schoenhut donkey on a shelf, and it may be too, but most Schoenhut pigs I have seen have leather ears; I can't find another one anywhere out there exactly like this one, Whatever the case, a pretty sweet little piggy I think, with moveable head and legs, threaded with elastic inside, and a rope tail. 1920s 30s or so would be my guess. 3 3 4" l x 1 1 8" w x 2" t and in very good condition, with light wear.
