I found this character in Adamstown, PA last fall. They told me it was an advertisement character, but I just can not find anything about it.
Can someone help me?
thank you

What a great piece ! It sure looks like he is advertising some kind of grip but his base look like maybe the store made it vs factory . How tall is he ? I am thinking a store used grips figure and gave him name Beaky because of the hat . Interesting I love it . How tall is he ?
16.25" tall painted composition figure on 7.75x7.75" plywood base. c. 1950s. Buttons on figure read "Grips." These were sneakers made by the Beacon Falls Rubber Footwear Co. of CT.
agh well that explains characters nickname for Beacon , named him Beaky :-) Nice solve !
Thanks a lot aghcollector !! Is it rare?
Thanks again

Not a shoe, I found a pair of children's shoes that work great.
Tomorrow I send photos
You're from that area?
