Well Knocked Around Old Wire Jointed Man with Red Stockings and Large Hands man in mask with some writing in pencilA sweet old painted, wire jointed figure, who looks rather French to me, and who I love most of all for those large hands with black paint against oyster white detailing each of his fingers. Perhaps there were once strings running through the wire loops at his joints that tugged at his limbs like a puppet, I am not totally sure. Now, he will balance in various positions on his own, including in a partial headstand! 8 7 8" t x 3 1 4" w arms down x 1".
