Honestly, I thought at first that he was loose on his mount **until I researched and saw others(mostly larger ones) listed as weather vanes - so I suppose it is intentional that he is loose and swivels 360°

There's a little scuffing that shows its age, so I didn't do anything to remove it.

It is not signed.

The dowel does pull out of the base; however, it sits stably when pushed into the base (I have disconnected the figure from the base to package it for shipping).

Curious thing - the wood appears to have worm holes. This can be very desirable to some collectors.  The wood may be old, but this figure itself - I don't believe it's very old. I would guess, made in 1980s.

It is 8.5"high and 9 inches long.

Sweet little mobile, sculptural piece of folk art.
