Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The figure bears the usual very minor nicks overall consistent with age.

There is restoration where the bat meets his shoulder; also to the bobble on his hat; also the whole length of his protruding lapel; also where his jacket is blowing up beneath his right elbow.

Gilding is rather worn around the base.

There is a sticky residue beneath the base.
