We are reasonably sure this one is Pre-war, simply marked JAPAN. Missing of the those little doo-dads at the bottom of the ski pole. Measures about 4½ inches tall but total length of Skis is about 7 inches. Slightly loose on the skies. Hand painted face has one "White" of the eye bigger than the other. Gives him character! Nicely aged vintage look. Please view photos to get a better idea of actual condition they are a big part of the description and check out some of the other vintage items we have on right now! We do not accept returns and absolutely do not give partial refunds, they are not fair to 2nd high bidders whose opinion may differ from yours. So please examine this item and inquire about any concerns before bidding.
