    He is SO sweet, and I know he was famous back in the 1970s. I mean this type/style of stoneware. I'm sure he was sold at Hallmark or other stationery stores.

    He is SO familiar, but I just can't put my finger on who he is or what line he was part of. He has very distinctive glazing. And the look on his face - the wide eyes are indicative of a line of figures (Sort of Precious Moments -y). His face & hands are unglazed.

    Anyone have a guess, or recognise him? He's only 5 inches tall. You can't see it - but there is a hole in his shoulder near the sail of the sailboat for those little cactus straw flowers. Memba those? TOTALLY 1970's.

    I hope someone recognizes him - it's been driving me crazy for several years!

      The glaze is matte but glossy if that makes sense. Almost like slip glaze.

      Hi - checking on this guy again. No Phil, not Hummel. It's still making me crazy!
