Just a heads-up to the list. I came across this web site of sculptured
figurines, the extensive catalog online is filled with nostalgic New England
pieces (lighthouses, places and personalities) and more at:
www.sebastianworld.com
Of particular interest to you radio folks, there's a "Big Brother" Bob Emery
at WBZ figurine and several others at WEEI (Carl Moore, E.B. Rideout, etc.)
from the 1950's with a short statement that identifies each piece. There is
a figurine of a NECCO wafer candy making machine, the Boston Public Garden
"Swan Boats" and many NE items.
Given the interest in bobble-head dolls today, this might be a good source
for radio promotional items. (Disclaimer applies!)
Keep warm - GO PATS !
