Item Description
4.5” wide by 6” deep by 8.5” tall. Figure shows squinting Churchill with pants down in a defecating posture. Unsure of meaning, possibly referring to tight spot England was in at beginning of WWII. Color accents and facial highlights. Distressed look on face. Lt. age dust. Rare. Exc.
New information given to us by a noted collector is as follows-

It was used by the Hitler youth in their door-to-door solicitations for donations. The figure of Churchill is intentionally designed to be grotesque and "compromised." This item is well documented in Kevin Hall's outstanding book on Churchilliana.
