Excellent Old Die-Cast Alligator in Original Paint, Made in the USA black hat developing an expressionistic style thatA nice old one, made in the USA, with original paint, sort of an olive green with creamy white underbelly and red inside his open mouth. Good weight, cast in two parts. I can't find an exact match out there for him but would guess maybe 1920 30s? I love him. 5 1 2" l x 7 8" w. Good condition, general wear and scattered paint loss, all adding up to what I'd call a perfect patina.
