    About 6 or 7 inches high, no marks that I can see ... might it be Czech, Art Deco, and Ditmar Urbach? There are some DU musicians that are similar, but I can't find this one. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers P1080169.jpg P1080170.jpg P1080171.jpg P1080172.jpg

    Base doesn't look like urbach to me. Maybe MIJ (made in Japan)?

    Thanks Jeff. After a lot more looking I agree that it ain't Urbach, but I don't believe it's MIJ. I've seen one other but can't remember where. It is similar to Urbach musicians and figurines -- bar facial details and colouring, and the clogs are too big and it isn't stamped Ditmar :) Still, no worries. Thanks. Any other suggestions welcome.

    Sorry, but I agree with Jeff. It's the bottom that gives it away. The stark white and those two openings are really typical of MIJ or even Made in China. They might have been trying to copy the style of some of the mid-century California figurines.
