A police chief is appointed by and answerable to a national or local government. Chief comes with a removeable stretched fitted hat of his office and when removed serves as an ashtray. Known to Stangl collectors as stoby jugs (Stangl toby jugs), full colorways were original production in the 1930s to 1950s. Solid colorways were produced in the 1960s and 1970s.
