    BUCKY
    THE BUCKEYE BEER WAITER BOTTLE HEAD.
    BUCKEYE BREWING CO.
    Carl Walter Walinski a.k.a. Bucky began his career as the spokesman for
    Toledo
    ’s
    Buckeye Brewery in 1936.  Shortly after Prohibition, the brewery adopted a Dwarf cartoon character named Bucky to promote their beer.  A salesman for the brewery called on the Green Lite  Tavern on
    Toledo
    ’s west side and meet the 4’ 5” Walinski tending bar.
    He convinced the brewery executives to make Carl their real life Bucky.  Dressed as the Buckeye waiter, Carl would roller skate into bars thought the city with a bottle of Buckeye and a glass on a tray.  To promote  their Bock Beer, the Brewery gave Bucky a mini-chariot pulled by a goat named Billy.  Carl left the Brewery in 1942.  He went on to be the Mascot and Bat-Boy for the Toledo Mud Hens.  Carl Walinski died in 2002 at 92 years old.
