Metal Figurine Big Bad Wolf in Overalls

The metal in NOT magnetic.
He is 4.75 inches tall.

So, here he is, just standin' around all
casual like...Patches on his knees...

all crusty and golden, with his wolfie
tail hangingout the back of his pants...

and his wolfie fangs hanging out the side off his jaws.


The figure is hollow and the base measures 2 and 13/16" across. It looks like it might have been attached to some kind of a bottom piece originally, maybe.

It seems fairly sturdy, I think it's aluminum because of the shiny color. Don't know how to tell if it's pot metal.

That is a mold mark, not a crack.

So, do you think he's a cartoon or comic strip character? Or one of the storybook big, bad wolves? Little Red Riding Hood or The Three Little Pigs. I can't think of any other fairy tales with a wolf.

Has anyone come across a figure similar? Do they come in two pieces, attached to a base?

Thanks!

 

Pot metal most likely. Painted gold.
Guessing time period to the 1930s.
When did the Little Pigs cartoons come out?

Don't forget Peter and the Wolf, but I don't think that is this character. Nor Little Red Riding Hood.

 

Yup, The Three Little Pigs came out in the '30s. But I think there'd be a Disney mark if they produced the figurine.

 

Warner Bros. did a version in a Merrie Melodies cartoon in 1942.

 

This figurine on eBay is the same size, seems also to be a cartoon character, and has the same general design...
