A 1960-61 San Francisco 49ers jumbo 15-inch-tall bobblehead doll will be auctioned by Huggins & Scott Auctions online, closing Thursday, March 11. The sale opened Feb. 26. A descendant of the Japanese family that co-owned the distributor, Otagiri Mercantile Company, consigned the bobblehead. Otagiri was headquartered in San Francisco and was a stoneware manufacturing company that started production in the 1950s. Chiyoko and Goro Otagiri established the Otagiri Mercantile Company after their return to Japan in 1947, following their release from the Topaz internment camp in Utah. Otagiri evidently produced five or fewer jumbos for each of the 14 NFL teams. Condition of the bright, bold beauty would be Near Mint, except for some cracking on the left shoes side and bottom. There are intact original decals of NFL (shoe), Japan (underside) and FORTY NINERS (chest). About twice the height of standard nodders, jumbos are even more susceptible to the general wear and tear that come from practical usage and long-term storage of these delicate 60-year-old collectibles.
