    I found this - it's about 5' tall & I believe made of tin or other thin metal.
    But it has a serial number or auction number on the back lower base - what was this for/what does it mean? Is this something special I'm not seeing?
    Thanks!

    just a statue someone made...likely with their social insurance number...
    an auction house would put a tag on it....not scrawl a number...
    That zulu basket is nice.....4 a nice price !!!

    One too many digits for an SS#, and it breaks in the wrong places :)

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It looks like he was holding something at one time. A lance?
