2026.11.1Description
Collectible tape measure in the shape of a pig. The small plastic pig is cotton candy blue, wearing a red hat placed at a jaunty angle above the pig's right ear. The top of the pig reads, "THIS LITTLE PIGGIE / COMES FROM / BARRE, VT." in black lettering transfer-printed onto the pig. The underside is stamped "JAPAN" in a faded black ink and there is a fleur-de-lys design in the mold just above it. The pig has a curlicue tail and the cloth tape measure has a small wire end, extending out from below the pig's tail with inch incremental measurements.Context
