Here we have a wonderful, German made character boy known as Schnickelfritz, an affectionate German term for a little mischief maker…

Details of this very rare to find example include nicely molded and painted features including blue intaglio eyes, full blushed and dimpled cheeks and a wide grin with several intentionally missing teeth. Further details include exposed, oversized ears and a head of wavy, molded titian red hair topped with a cream wool cap (small hole to cap).
His bisque shoulderhead is mounted on a kid body with bisque lower arms (missing thumb and losses to left hand, kid leather fragile at right shoulder, area of sawdust filling exposed).
This dapper young man wears a classic, two-piece costume rendered in soft black velvet and trimmed in cream soutache while cream stockings under black leather shoes complete his costume. Shoulderplate incised: Made in Germany ges. 241 gesch, 16/0 A 
Measures: 11 ¾” tall
