Any thoughts about age on this guy? Have had him for around 20 years...weighs about 17 lbs, no maker marks. I'd also like to know who made it...thanks, cathy

I now believe this could be a mold for chalkware fireman figurines..check out Christie's auction where they sold one that looks identical to this cast iron piece..
