    No markings of any sort, eye let type screws don’t have patina, so I’m not thinking old. But the sailor type garb is sewn on over all wood body. Sectional limbs as seen with minimalist carving detail. Image search mostly sticks with the outfit, and body part/head search are 0…anyone help id?

      Hmmmm, interesting. It looks like it might be a manikin. I saw a similar one in Puerto Rico although it wasn't as well dressed! The manakin had red, white and blue parachute pants, a green Izod and accented with a scarf around the neck!!

      Have to figure out why my pics rotate! Lol. A doll size mannequin! Almost like the forms they use that are for poses in art classes

      Limberjacks and jig dolls seem to be nearest to this guy

      Hi in my opinion without holding him he is a more modern novelty doll made to look like a folk art doll decor display . I thought he might be resin since I don't see any carving marks. Hard to tell by photo . But again I believe a modern piece made to look aged . Hope you find a firm answer on him . Unique and thanks for sharing .
