Steven,

    When I bought that bottle with figures from the Red Lantern Girl, which I KNOW is a Cultural Revolution production, the late Robert Kleiner convinced me that it was mid-1940s Chi-Com propaganda , because he claimed Xue Chengcai died in 1948!

    Having no reason to doubt him, I believe I told you it was ca. 1945-1948.
So now, I can put it in my box of 10 Cultural Revolution subjects. There is one historical (not Agit-Prop, as this one is) subject there at the moment, so I will switch them.
Thank you again,
Joey
