sillisculpts Paula figure,The Funeral is Tomorrow 1973

" The funeral is tomorrow" is the caption on this vintage Paula figurine. Popular in the 1970's, these adorably tacky statues made their way into the hearts of many collectors. These are similar to the R & W Berries figurines in many ways with one essential difference: Paula figurines are made of wood then coated with a thin plastic resin. The bottoms reveal the natural wood. Original felt on the bottom of this one. This one is stamped, dated 1973 W-331 and measures 5.25" tall. This guy stands behind a tombstone with his list of promises, To be good, careful,not to lie, swear, drink, smoke, cheat, or date the opposite sex. Giving up al this, he thinks his funeral is tomorrow. Comical sentiment.
