Figural tobacco holder has me stumped
« on: December 31, 2013, 05:05:47 pm »
I got him and he was tagged as a tobacco holder. Looks like he was attached to something at one point.  No markings.  Either cast or Spelter?  Trying to figure out as much as possible about it.  6" tall by 5" wide

I thought that too.  Ideas on the style/time period?

Looks like his stein was broken out of his hand and a few other condition issues.

Agree looks like a match holder.
