Adorable vintage Shmoo pin. Please excuse any red reflections on the pin from my camera.

Shmoos first appeared in the Lil Abner comic series by Al Capp in 1948. "According to Shmoo legend, the lovable creature laid eggs, gave milk and died of sheer ecstasy when looked at with hunger. The Shmoo loved to be eaten and tasted like any food desired." Wow! Al certainly had a wild imagination! LOL!

It measures 1-1/2" tall. Decent shape but does have age appropriate patina on the back and some wear!

The pin is a light gold tone color.
