Description

These ceramic geese by the Lefton's China company are dressed in a pink bonnet and a cowboy hat with flowers on their lapels. They are in excellent condition with plastic stoppers intact. Both also have their original red and gold labels from the Lefton's company. The sticker also says, "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." indicating they were likely manufactured between 1953 and 1960 when the labels started to say "Trademark" instead.
