The Official Gold Rusher / Gold Rush Victim Gold Miner Novelty Item

This item appears to be a novelty magnetic bottle opener or possibly a small collectible magnet, featuring a humorous or satirical depiction related to the Gold Rush era. The rectangular object has rounded corners and a predominantly mustard yellow background. It displays a colorful graphic with text that reads "THE OFFICIAL" at the top, followed by "GOLD RUSHER" in larger, stylized letters. Below this, there is an oval illustration depicting what looks like a mule or donkey-like creature, possibly a prospector, against a starry, dark blue sky with hints of a landscape. The creature appears to be engaged in mining, possibly sifting for gold. Further down, the text "GOLD RUSH" is prominently displayed, followed by "VICTIM" and dates "1849" and "1865" or similar, possibly indicating the start and end of the California Gold Rush or a specific period of interest. The word "VICTIM" suggests a humorous or ironic take on the gold rush experience. At the very bottom, it clearly states "GOLD MINER". The overall design mimics an old-fashioned advertising sign or a collectible tin. The surface appears smooth and glossy, indicative of a printed design on metal, ceramic, or thick plastic, possibly with an epoxy coating for durability. There are no visible signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs from the provided image, suggesting it is in good, used condition or possibly new old stock. The edges show no chipping, and the vibrant colors of the graphic are intact. The craftsmanship appears to be typical of mass-produced novelty items, with clear printing and bright imagery. Its small size, as indicated by being held in a hand, points towards it being a personal accessory or a small souvenir.
