    I picked this up assuming that it was a door stop, but it lacks a wedge so I'm not so sure now. He's 19cm tall and weighs some. Cast iron i would say. The only 'result' I have had on Google is the profile photo of some guy on a shipping forum.

    He's a doorman or other hotel worker.

    Yeah I'd say so. I will crunch some key words rather than image search.

    Pizza Rat at the Ritz-Carlton? Nahhh, but I bet there's someone out there who would love this.

    Scabby, is that you? I respect the work you're doing with the unions.

    Also could be an elevator operator? Have never seen anything like this before.

    Similar uniform. Don't think they usually wore gloves though. And they were stationary. Didn't scurry like a bellhop.
