<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 3252958, member: 7360&quot;]Thanks for all this, I had a fixed idea about the slot being for a spoon which I now think is wrong, used matches, razorblades or toothpicks all seem much more likely.&nbsp; I also agree that he is meant to be a Bonzo dog lookalike, so I looked up Bonzo and found he was most popular in the 1920&#039;s, drawn in a cartoon which was popular around the world, so that agrees with a French origin for this, in 1920&#039;s or 30&#039;s.&nbsp; If I ever find out what he sat on top of and what was put into his slot, I will let you know![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
