Here then is another important rarity in the Bobbin' Head genre the 1961-66 Houston Oilers White Base (Type 3) with Toes Up. The 7-inch turquoise beauty boasts the derrick decals on each side of the helmet in this instance with only a whisper of any nicks on the left side; Oilers on the chest and "Houston" on the front of the round base are similarly outstanding with very tiny nicks only visible with the closest examination. Bottom of the chin has some paint chipping as is often found; gloss is overall very nice; there are a couple of cracks on the helmet that are barely visible and don't detract from the presentation. "Japan Pending" is imprinted on the bottom of the white base. Bobbin' head performs its basic nodding function in a consistent and persistent manner.
