Jim, thanks for your response. I did know the Mantle on the left is the "Muscle" Mantle, but I didn't know it was harder to find than the other. Thanks for that info.
But my question was geared more towards the "finish" of the bobble heads. These are the only two I have and they have different "finishes." One is glossy and the other is not. I was curious if bobble heads are found with both glossy finishes and non-glossy finishes. Since these are two different bobble heads, probably made at different times, I suppose that I'm worried about nothing. But I'd like to know if both finishes are authentic. I can't find anything on the 'net that discusses the finishes.
More specifically, does anyone else have the "Muscle" Mantle? If so, what is its finish, glossy or flat? Mine has a copyright date of 1962 on the bottom (does that make it a 1966 vintage?) and is that a factor in the finish?
Does anyone else have the other Mantle? If yes, what is its finish, glossy or flat? Mine has "PATENT PENDING" on the bottom (does that make it an earlier version?) and is that a factor in the finish?
Again, thanks!
Mike
