I have an OLD music box/comic strip question…?
It belonged to my Great Grandmother. It is a little boy on a Pedestal that spins. The pedestal is painted with a hounds-tooth design in black and white. The little boy is very plain and wearing a little brown cap.
She referred to it as "Little Butch". It looks like a character from a very old comic strip, but I can't remember the name of it. The work vaguely looks like the "Little LuLu" comic strip, but I can;t find any reference to a "Butch" or a picture that resembles what I have. The only reference I can find to anything related to "Butch" is a book on amazon.com called: "100 Years of American Comic Strips".
Does anyone know the name of the comic strip or any information about the music box itself?
