We are going to begin crowdsourcing images to see if anyone can identify these items. Here’s our first one:

Who is he?

Is he a mascot? How old is he? Does he have a name?

He’s about 2 cm. tall and has “Lewtan USA” on his back.

If anyone has any information about this pin, please contact us at 419-37-2-2450 or pcldesk@bgsu.edu.

Thanks!
