Bought this at an estate sale about 30 years ago, it was old back then, wondered if it might have some value. It is in great shape.

Hi Bossmantom, I would start research under golliwog it was originally a character in a children's book by writer Bertha Upton in the 1890s. Also depicted as Robertson's Jam mascot. After some time some negative connotations were associated with the character and even considered racially discriminatory against certain individuals of color. -soul
It looks like one from a set of bisque nodders - characters from a comic strip, can't think of which one just now. It is a nodder? My guess it is German.
