The "Wolf Boy" which Pat bought new circa 1963-64, years and years ago.
He also has scans of his original catalog from which he ordered this figure for only $15.
Christened "Ignatz", he has been in the baby casket ever since.

I wonder if Ignatz ever knew Marie O'Day?

He sure did. He used to ride around in the trunk of her car.

"When you see the real body of Marie O"Day you will note her finger nails, toe nails, even the corn upon her foot. Doctors and undertakers are invited to make such investigation as to convince themselves that Marie O'Day was once alive, the same as you as I." That poetry is from a Charlie Campbell herald on Miss O'Day. Last I heard see was in a truck in NC.

This reminds me of years ago when i took my son to the Hoxie show.
We went in to see the, I believe it was the Abominable Snow Man, frozen alive. i lifted my son up and told him to touch the glass top of the case. It was very warm...great fun for just 50 cents.
