Story:

image002  This is a piece of advertizing art I collect. It looks like Fred Flintstone, but there is no mention of Hanna-Barbara or The Flintstones or anything else on it. The only markings are on the base - "Powell Valves" in raised lettering in the front and

„©1973 The Wm. Powell Company" on the back in inset lettering. The company that offered it is still in business in Cincinnati, OH, USA.

It is blue silicon rubber with a white silicon rubber valve in front. The hair is painted red and part of the valve, black. 2" tall, 4" wide and 2" deep. I am interested in its cost. It is a see all, hear all, say all type.

 

Valuation:

image002  You have done an excellent job with the description of this item. There is not much that can be added. Here is a picture from my collection. This figurine is occasionally offered in internet auctions and usually is sold for US$ 30 - 50. But if you are the seller and two collectors are fighting over it, you might be lucky and get more.

Comments from readers:

image002  Thank you for your compliment. Thank-you also for the information regarding value. It surprises me that anything that simple as a give away at a commercial engineering products show dated as late as 1979 is worth anything at all. I still have to wonder if Hanna-Barbara’s lawyers looked at copyright infringement. Fred did endorse Winston cigarettes in the very late 50's/early sixties.

I will stay in touch and your website is most interesting and jam-packed with so much to see and read - thank-you for that, too. Herb
