Condition
The figure stands on a metal base. The piece is divided into four parts that are meant to be assembled to form the toy. There are nicks and there I s rubbing persistent throughout all four pieces, particularly on all edges and especially on corners. The top piece (hat) has significant rubbing and paint loss on all edges as well as two small holed on the upper side. One of the sides of the torso has multiple indented areas (perhaps scratches) which would be inherent to the wood piece. It also has a nick in the center part of that same side. There pieces do not appear to have been repainted or retouched.
