This
is a semi-giant-full coco: 8 1/4 X 5 1/2" base. Everything about this one
says pre-war. The style, the windows, the wooden fenceposts. Except it bothers
me. It's just too clean, and although it doesn't show well in the picture -
gold glitter among the coconut where it is brown.I had thought that only to
appear in the '50's, but as usual .. I could be wrong!
GIANTS-prewar
I could not believe my eyes when I saw these beneath the tree of a fellow Christmas
collector. His wife said they were her mother's and came in a boxed set of four.
There are three full cocos and a loggie and the bases are fully 11 1/2 X 9 3/4"!
Will fully cover a standard sheet of typing paper and more. You can get some
idea of the size of these by comparing with the sitting chair in the background.
They wouldn't part with them, of course ..
