1950s Little Squirt Manneken Fountain Peeing Boy Toy w Box Insert Commonwealth

This vintage 1950s “I’m the Little Squirt” novelty water toy by Commonwealth Products Co. is inspired by Brussels’ Manneken Fountain and comes complete with its original illustrated box, cone hat fill cap, and fold-out story/instruction sheet; the hard-plastic figure is filled through the opening at the top of the head and the stream is released by pressing the hat from the sides, a mid-century gag that displays well thanks to its bright period graphics.
