Item Description
7.5x8.5x4" deep painted plaster. "Sea Hag" name incised at top along with 1945 copyright. Recessed area in back to hold string. Hole in mouth. Wire hanger at top as made. Very detailed string holder showing Popeye's nemesis, a sneering Sea Hag with her vulture sidekick Bernard. Detailed down to 2 separately applied (as produced) warts to Sea Hag's nose and chin. Light aging/dust soiling and paint crazing to head scarf knot. Exc. While we have offered a Sea Hag carnival statue a few times, this is the first string holder we have seen. Of all the string holders we have offered, this is by far the most visually appealing and most impressive. Rare.
