He's about 20" tall and came from an estate sale; tag says it dates back to 1947, but I highly doubt that...seems like most PNG artifacts that have found their way into the US marketplace could've been made in the 1980's but LOOK like they date back a century. If I had to guess, I'd say late 70's, early 80's, but still... it's a spirit figure, and extremely well made. The price was right either way- we love 'im! He doesn't cause too much of a ruckus. --Pete
