Baston designed Mr. Obocell for the Irwin Neisler drug company. Obocell was a patent medicine for obesity, based on the theory of cutting down the taker's appetite. Mc. Obocell has become so bloated that, in bending over, the seat of his trousers has ripped. He has just discovered the damage! Neisler salesmen gave the figurine to doctors. This Mr. Obocell is in great shape, without chips or cracks - although there is a rip in the seat of his trousers, as mentioned above. He stands 4" tall and would make a great addition to your collection!
