Circa 1950 Store Display Manischewitz Kosher Wine Jewish Brooklyn New York

Description

Made of thick, heavy plaster weighing 3 pounds, 14 ounces. There is damage to the inner part of the thumb as seen, paint has flaked off and you can see the plaster and steel rod. The outside of the thumb there is a crack, but the thumb is not loose at all.
This is a store display. On the reverse of the base it is marked (as part of the molding itself, it's not a label), "Produced and bottled by Monarch Wine Company, Inc. Brooklyn N.Y.".
This came with the bottle shown and I am including it. Seen in the last photo is another example that sold for 7 (0 hammer + 25% buyers premium).
This will be double boxed and packed very well with lots of bubble wrap. I suggest not inserting the bottle into the hand until you have the thumb strengthened/restored, as even though the thumb is stable as previously mentioned, I would not "tempt fate".
Pickups in person are welcome, I am in New York City.
