BURRO-49'ers FRIEND~Cast Metal VERY SPECIAL little guy. He stands 2-1/8 high x 2-1/4 long x 1-1/8 inches wide. The lovely patina of this cutie is, as far as I can judge, untampered with. The Burro was manufactured in 'JAPAN', SEE LETTERS IN PHOTO. I would judge it to have been made in the late 1940's when there was great interest in the centennial of the discovery of gold in California. This little guy sports all the gear you would need. With the head facing left detailed are a pan for gold panning, saddle bag, water/whiskey barrel and a gourd shapped item. On the right facing view one can find a bedroll, cooking pot, strongbox, and a pick/ax over the top. Along the top are other supplies, including a shovel and sledge hammer. This little friend is made of molded pot metal and plated with a copper colored bronze plating. Make it yours today!
