Onion Dude Submitted by Nessa August 22nd, 2011 I think this guy was 50 cents or something… a crying onion man… I wonder if he had a lid at one time?
Allee Willis SO jealous of this guy! He would make a nice friend for my celery vase: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2010/04/14/allee-willis-kitsch-o-the-day-–-vintage-celery-vase/ Is there a manufacturer’s mark on him? I wonder if they use the same mold for a pumpkin? August 22nd, 2011
Nessa I thought he was unmarked, but I looked again, and on the back of his shoe, he is marked “GARE’Inc 1973” August 22nd, 2011
k2dtw Great design…Love him!! We used to have a hardware store that sold corks in various sizes.. They were in open bins, and their sizes would range from tiny tiny to fit the bottom of a s/p shaker.. to huge to fit a jar and/or “Onion Dude”.. August 22nd, 2011
