Doubtful...
That same Figural batter with Boater-style Hat can be found on numerous small household goods of the day. I have a few that are attached to Napkin Rings, Pipe Stands, Business Card Holders, Letter Openers, and the like. The Dinner Bell fits right into that category of household goods.
That said.... Wonderful pickups by Bob and everyone else!
