This very collectible Vintage "Completely in the Dark" Black Americana String Holder was produced in the 1940s by a small company now out of business in Paducah, Kentucky: Keystone Studio (see the additional photo of their ad). It measures 9" high and is made of chalk. Its paint is original and it is in very good condition - having no chips or cracks. But remember this is chalk ware and it does show slight crazing due to age. Also this being chalk ware there are imperfections that are characteristic of items that are made of chalk. It still has its original wire hanger on the back for hanging on the wall. There is a place in the back for a ball of twine. The string comes out of his stomach. We just unpacked this fantastic advertising string holder that was one of several that belonged to my late aunt who got me started collecting many years ago. During the past 40 years that I have been collecting I have only seen a very, very few of these. We are just now unpacking much of what she had collected over the last 30 to 70 years. It had hung in a smoke free home/antique shop for years and then packed away. If you collect string holders or Black memorabilia then you will definitely want this one! Here is your chance to own not only a piece of history but a terrific collectible! Thank you for looking.
