Vintage Silver-Tone Chuck E. Cheese Figural Pendant

This item is a small, three-dimensional figural pendant or charm depicting the character Chuck E. Cheese, likely from the late 1970s to 1980s era of the restaurant franchise's branding. The figure is approximately 1.5 inches in height, cast in a polished silver-tone metal, which may be silver plate or a base metal alloy like pewter or zink. The character is depicted in a standing post with one hand raised in a wave and the other arm at its side. Notable features include the oversized ears with recessed centers, a prominent snout, and molded details representing the character's clothing and toes. The construction is solid cast with a jump ring attached to a loop behind the head for suspension on a chain or keychain. Condition-wise, the piece shows visible surface wear, including minor scratches, pitting in the metal, and significant oxidation or patina in the recessed areas (especially around the ears and facial features), which is typical for a piece of this age. While no maker's mark is visible from the front, these were often issued as prize tokens or promotional merchandise. The craftsmanship is commercial-grade, with soft casting lines characteristic of mass-produced promotional jewelry from the mid-to-late 20th century.
