      He sorta looks like the Yellow Kid. Look up Yellow Kid Cap Bomb for another interpretation in iron. However, I have no idea what the thing sticking out of his head is.
      How big is it? How about a pic of the back and bottom.

      Perhaps the “thing” on his head is a cap, like a porter wears.

      yes, i'm sure that TubeAmp is correct. that's his cap. i think he is Yellow Kid.

      Yezbut: The Yellow Kid generally didn't wear a hat - he was illustrated bald. In some cartoons he wore a hat that was indicative of the theme of the cartoon, such as a top hat when he was supposed to be mocking high society. But as a generic image I wouldn't expect a hat.
      I just noticed that his forehead appears rough (compared to the finish on the side of his head for example) as though he was made with a kepi and the bill has been ground off. There's more here than meets the eye which is why I want to know how large it is.
