Help Dating Charatan

[ChuckMijo]

Picked up this little charm. Have no idea on a date. I have some idea in my head, but could be way off. I read about everything, and still not sure. Any opinions or suggestions.

PM Ken Barnes. He’ll probably know who made it or made part of it.

Yeah that was my idea to. I did but he hasn’t been on the site in some months. And I know only enough about these to be dangerous.lol

Nice pot billiard.

Chuck, I would say post-war "Reuben's era". The Chubby can be seen in the 1951 catalog.



I think a good question is, when did Charatan stop with the DE LUXE marking?

Oh my . Thank you I have been reading everything I possibly could. I read Tad Gage post about the De Luxe. Then you read something else that’s polar opposites. I knew it was pre lane. Still unsure about the S. I figured special. Thank you so much!!

 

[ChuckMijo]

I guess while I have your ear, did the S predate the stamp special?

Dang--I just did a DOUBLE TAKE reading the title! These frickin' bifocals are dirty or not strong enough! I thought it said, "Christian," not, "Charatan." Aw shuck...as I scratch the toe of my sneaker in the sand and turn red...

p.s.--I really was curious what sort of help was sought in dating a Christian, no put down to anyone's faith! (I'm 62 now and was a Protestant minister for 30 years, so I'm not putting anyone down for their faith--LONG WINDED DISCLAIMER because I do NOT want to start a fuss--no surpise on the excess verbage to some who know me
kindly
