Found this little fella yesterday at local antique mall. Paint appears mostly original. Hole for fishing pole at one time. No damage. Just age scuffs. All chalkware hollow inside no concrete. Large 15" tall. I have been unable to find another just like it online. Any information appreciated.
Loooove it!...:-)
Hello...Lots of variations of these gents were popular from the 1860’s to modern day...the true story behind these statues comes from the Civil War when they were used as identifiers on porches to let the folks of color know the house can provide them food, shelter and possible employment.
