Alas, poor Charley! He is showing his years! He has been through quite a bit, but he is still smiling. He brought a lot of smiles to other peoples' faces back in the day. Now to the stats: He is authentically vintage, not a repro. He measures 14 1/2 inches tall. He has survived a fire; probably why his eyebrows are missing and his white coat is anything but. The fire was ages ago. I smell no smoke, but if this could be an issue - beware. Yes, his eyebrows are gone, but the monocle remains. His coat is missing some small buttons and his hands are dirty. His tuxedo pants are in fairly good shape' as are his wooden shoes. His mouth string is intact (see photo), but it does not work. Pieces are missing from his plaster head. Yes, he's been through a lot - but haven't we all. Charley was wildly popular at one time and I even saw a movie he appeared in with Edgar Bergen, Lucille Ball, and Fibber Magee and Molly. Charley has been in a box too long. He needs a second career. I'm sorry, I can only ship to the USA. Thanks for looking.
