Vintage Salvador Dali Extreme Mustache Face Bookend by J Signore 1960s




Hilarious, obscure, unexpected, single bookend of Salvador Dali's face.
He is as wild eyed and mustached as you could ever hope for.
PLUS, I got it at the recent, nearby estate sale of the former US Ambassador to Switzerland during the 
Reagan administration.
Of all people.
It was tucked away in an upstairs book case. 
Marked  on the bottom, J. Signore.
It reminds me of gift shop Russ Berrie Sillisculpt statues. It's that type of hardened, molded foam plastic.
It's heavy for it's size.
I can find no others. I can find no reference to J. Signore as artist, distributor, manufacturer or novelty 
company.
He has seen some use and has some wear. Nothing major.
