Crib Toy brooch with keys
 
     This counterpart to the crib toy brooch with dice (item #707) is a cute little guy made of beads, plastic and wood with one bakelite bead at the top of his hat.  He has glued on googly eyes and a big heart!  His arms, legs and feet swing freely from from large rings and his hands hold two keys each.  The keys give a clue.  One key is marked "U.K. Suen" and another is marked "Mele".  Mele is a compay that manufactures jewelry boxes opening in New York in 1912 and are still in business.  The U.K. Suen is a company I have not been able to identify, so if you know of it, please let me know!  But the marking does suggest a company from Great Britian.  All of the parts are made of plastic with the exception of his legs which are wood and, of course, the keys which are metal.  This piece comes from a New York estate liquidated in 1999.  He measures 5 1/2" tall.
