BOSSONS HIGHWAYMAN 1966 BOSSONS HIGHWAYMAN 1966 This Highwayman wall mask is on the hunt—for your money or your life. The word "highwayman" refers to robbers who traveled on horseback from the 17th to 19th centuries. They would lie in wait for coaches on the roads out of London . The poet Alfred Noyes wrote about the "French cocked hat on his forehead" and "a bunch of lace at his chin" as he came "riding, riding, riding." This wall mask measures about 8 ¼ inches tall and 7 inches at its widest point. It comes in very good condition but appears to have been touched up a little and has a dirty white shirt and brown teeth. Overall, the appearance is quite attractive (see pictures). W.H. Bossons, Ltd., of Congleton , England , gained a place in collectors' hearts with its whimsical character studies, plaques and wall sculptures despite their relatively short production period. For just 50 years--from 1946 to 1996--Bossons produced figurines that captivated collectors with their lifelike detail. I accept PayPal, but will agree to special payment arrangements on occasion.
