This metal sculpture fascinates me. It doesn’t look like something that you would normally find sitting atop a vintage bathroom sign. I think the outfit on the sculpture is made out of twisted rubber bands. Notice the onion lady, tiki water jug, and the Jubilee Ham tin!
Far away shot. That’s a soul ceramic “Seagrams” promotional pitcher up on the shelf.

The wire sculpture’sl outfit is actually made out of reeds, although I can see how they would be mistaken for rubber bands.
I do suppose that a restroom sign is an odd place for him to be housed but there was no room left on that top shelf.
You can see the pitcher – Canadian Club not Seagram’s – better here: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2009/09/27/allee-willis-kitsch-o-the-day-1960s-canadian-club-whiskey-pitcher/

I’m dying over that tiki water bottle!

The tiki water bottle is relatively new. I got it out of the catalog about five years ago though I can’t for the life of me remember which one. But they’re definitely around.
