Vintage Mr. Big Mouth Carnival Amusement Park Trash Can

 Mr. Big Mouth is a fabulous two-part vintage piece consisting of a hand painted wood barrel and a detachable man's head and shoulders. The barrel reads "Mr. Big Mouth" "Swallows Everything" "Paper, Steel, Glass". The head is made of fiberglass and is lightly stuccoed and hand painted, much like a fresco. The piece appears to be from the 1940's or 50's and would have been used in a carnival or amusement park setting. We only know of two others in existence and they're no longer showing up "for sale" when we search on line. One was listed for $2,800 and the other for $2,500. We have contacted carnival and amusement collectors and no one has been able to provide us with any further information about him.
