This is a rare find, not too many of these around. This is a souvenir of the Century of Progress, 1933 Chicago World's Fair. More specifically, it represents Admiral Byrd's exploration of the South Pole. This carved wooden penguin stands 5 inches high. A stamp on the bottom reads 1933 Century of Progress Byrd South Pole Ship. The base measures about 2 inches by 2.25 inches. The carving seems to be one piece except for the face which has a smaller second piece around the beak. This carving weighs 3 ounces.
