holding a bundle of cigars in his left hand
He stands at 4 feet tall. slight marks as expected for his age but in very good condition.
The usual split in the wood on the base can be seen in the photographs. This seems to be a common thing with these antiques, does not affect him standing. please view photographs. Buy a slice of American Tobacco Shop history.
