This is an amazing little object, just --5 1/2in. (14cm.) high from base to top of hat.

A hand carved wooden figure of John Bull, a national personification on the United Kingdom.

Hand painted on wooden base impressed John Bull.

I am not certain exactly what I have here, never seeing or finding anything similar. Perhaps a salesman sample, or a keen carver hobbyist model. It's very good quality.

Probably dating somewhere from 1930 to 1950s.
