[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 11670128, member: 84"]I finally broke down & bought this window display? from my neighbor. I thought he looked like the little person who was the only person who was trademarked - I think he did ads for a hotel, but I can't remember for sure. This piece was electrical - but it looks like the motor was removed - and his head would turn, that caused his thumbs up arm to move. But with no motor & 1 arm broken, is this still collectible? Any idea of its age? Or what type of business he tried to attract the attention of passer-bys for? I paid $50 for him because he's one of the most unusual pieces I've seen in awhile! Ok, and he's 34 inches tall. Thank you for any help with this guy!
