Additional Details:
Oilette Series 8792B
Fums up! Such a quaint little figure of a cute baby, Mercury, the emblem of luck on his forehead and a touch of ancient Rome in the upturned thumb, handed down from the Gladiator Days (through a United allied Italy) to the Londoner of to-day, in the popular phrase - THUMBS UP. This lucky Symbol, expressive of the confidence deep rooted in the hearts of Britatin and her Allies that Right will triumph over Might and that our just cause will emerge crowned by a glorious Victory leading to a lasting Peace, is brought home to you by A MASCOT.
