This chalkware standing man or boy with hat is 10 ¾ inches tall. It is molded from plaster of paris. It is likely from the Pennsylvania area and dates to the 19^th century.  The man has his right hand on a pillar and in his left is his hat. It has its original paint which is white, black, green, red and mustard. There is some paint loss but this is in wonderful condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. This shape seems to be pretty scarce and is a copy of the figures made in Staffordshire England at the time.
