Rare, original, vintage 1940s “Esky” the “Esquire Man” 24 tall store display figure for department stores or specialty stores. This very rare item — in overall excellent condition –is made of rubber /resin material and hand painted. Esquire’s famous art director / designer Elmer Simms Campbell created the character in the 1930s and the character was subsequently featured on every early cover of Esquire magazine… And still remains the mascot of the magazine to this day. This Esky store display piece is in exceptional condition.. Given the item’s nearly 80-plus year age… The “Esky” display that have survived all these years are usually plagued with major flaws or (even more common) the cracking of the 5.5 square case–this one is in exceptionally great shape.. I could only find a minor scrape area under the brim of the hat. Since this area is painted black it is barely noticeable. Please see all photos for details. It is a great display piece for any room in the house. Or in antique stores. Don’t miss this opportunity to own one!
