VINTAGE PIN UP RISQUE MISS AMERICA 1940'S CHALKWARE STATUE CARNIVAL CIRCUS PRIZE

Description

For your consideration is a really amazing 1940's Miss America pin up chalkware statue! She stands 15" tall. The statue is engraved "MISS AMERICA" along the front of the base. The letters "MOT" are on the back of the base, which are most likely the artist's initials. This statue is hand painted/sprayed and originally had sparkly glitter around the front of the base and in the woman's hair. Some or most of the glitter is still there, but it has darkened with age. There are expected nicks and marks present in places. There appears to have been a bubble in the molding below her right eye when sculpted, which resulted in a small indent/hole in the material. This does not look like damage of any kind.
A really beautiful piece for the collector of vintage pin up or Miss America memorabilia, carnival prizes or chalkware.

PAYMENTS
:
Due within 24 hours of auction end, buy it now/offer accepted or receipt of a combined shipping invoice
. If payment is not received within that time frame, offers will be extended to second highest bidders or sales will be canceled and items relisted.
SHIPPING
: All items typically ship within 1 business day of cleared payment.  I also combine shipping to save money when possible. For buyers within the United States, if you win more than one auction, please wait for me to send you a combined shipping invoice. If purchasing more than one “buy it now” item, simply add them to your cart and select “request invoice from seller” on the checkout screen. This will send me a request for a combined shipping invoice.  If for some reason items cannot be shipped together, I will let you know.
For international sales, I use the Global Shipping Program and they do not allow combined shipping. Each item will need to be paid for individually, including the shipping costs, and they will be mailed in separate shipments.
SHIPPING INSURANCE
: Shipping fees include full insurance coverage for the sale price. For international sales, insurance coverage is only valid until the item is accepted and shipped from the Global Shipping Center. Once it leaves the shipping center, the Global Shipping Program is responsible for the safe delivery of your item as well as any issues with damage or lost items.
RETURNS
: Not accepted unless an item arrives in a different condition (i.e. damaged) than what is described in the listing or it never arrives at all. If there is an issue with your item or shipment, please contact me immediately to see if we can work something out. If an item ends up getting damaged or lost in transit, I will handle matters on my end. For international sales, as already mentioned above, the Global Shipping Program is responsible for all issues with damaged or lost items once they leave the shipping center.
