Comments/description: A great figural piece with Herman the German as the star! Loaded with color and personality. Missing the card intended to be held in the raised hand. Bottle is not attached and label is missing, though it is likely original to the piece as it still retains its Old German crown on top. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Hermans extended back leg is cracked through at about the bottom of his pant leg though this is difficult to discern from the front so display remains excellent. There are a few other hairline cracks here and there that may be only paint or surface splits that do not affect stability. Even with the broken leg, Herman is firmly attached to the base with only a faint wobble and rattle.
