On offer today on Ebay is this smiling character from days gone by, perhaps a depiction of a Roman soldier or centurion, heavy paperweight or gargoyle-like shelf ornament for history freaks, students, geeks of re-enactments etc. Pleasant character to have in the home to brighten the mood and stop loose papers in the office from flying about as colleagues open and close doors nearby. He weighs an entire kilo as you can see from two of the photos above, solid piece therefore, material unknown, and will come in the recycled postal box you see outside on a garden table in ordinary daylight. Place of manufacture? No idea other than PENFOLD PRODUCTS Distinctive by Design paper label on his base. This ornament might also be suitable to set into your garden environment to add a touch of humour where you might least expect it! Set him into a wall or structure to delight children who pass by! Lovely gift for a history-lover, no damage to be seen other than the faded paper label as you see in some of the photos above.
