WW1 'Fumsup' Mascot

Silver body with an articulated wooden head, and arms that can be positioned to give a 'thumbs up' gesture, these charms were given to British soldiers to carry into battle.The charm combines two good luck traditions: the 'thumbs up' sign, and 'touch wood' by touching the wooden head.This example is particularly nice being of silver with a detailed wooden head. The rear body has a raised patent number? whilst the torso is stamped 'FUMSUP'.An especially fine and collectible example
