1960's wizard of oz scarecrow swing set top, Illinoid

Remember the famous Wizard of OZ? Remember the scarecrow named Game-Time?


In 1960's, heavy cast iron Game-Time images were put on swing sets at Litchfield Carnival as eye attractions. They were all double faced.
Nowadays, these old swing set top are getting really rare. We have a authentic one, weighs over 40 pounds and measures about 27" tall and 18" across. Not broken, but the paint is not so vivid any more due to its age.
 
We have proudly display it for many years and now it is time to look for a good home for it. We won't ship it so if you are interest come by 211 6th Street, Greenleaf, KS to take a look.
