I'm not so sure. It doesn't look very pretty but it looks as old as the rest of it and the cut out's too neat for a hacksaw.

I love seeing what other countries came up with for their Joe style lines. Some of the Mexican bearded figures look like they've been hitting the Tequila a little too hard!

Or maybe they swallowed the worm in the bottle!

It's interesting that most countries took the basic idea of the line in their own direction. A much more interesting approach than today when toy lines are standardized and the only thing that changes from country to country is the language on the packages.

International Joe collectors have a wealth of interesting items to choose from.
