Information on it. It is one of those toys that the Movie Theaters used to give away to children back in the 30's-40's-50's ect.
The toy is a pewter or iron (Popeye) figure that was made and given out in 1939. For those that do not know, Popeye first came out in 1939 and started off as cartoon shorts before the feature film started. It is very possibly one of the 1st Popeye toys ever produced and given out. He is about.
2 1/2 inches tall
Green Base for standing, with Blue , red , yellow, and white oil based paint. On his back is stamped the following:

(G) "in a circle"
1939
