Halloween Tin Litho Owl Clicker Noisemaker - This vintage clicker noisemaker was manufactured by the U.S. Metal Toy Manufacturing Company. The handheld toy is constructed from lithographed tin and shaped in the form of an owl. The front displays a detailed lithograph design in orange, black, and cream, depicting owl features and feathers. The reverse side is finished with green paint and houses a spring-steel clicking mechanism held in place by crimped edges. The manufacturer mark U.S. METAL TOY MFG. CO. MADE IN U.S.A. is printed along the top edge of the owl head. The toy shows signs of moderate age and play wear. There are scattered scratches and minor paint loss across the lithographed front, with small areas of surface oxidation visible along the edges. The green reverse side has notable wear and several rust spots. The clicking mechanism remains functional and produces a clear sound.
