Description:
Wooden statue of a bearded man in a top hat, probably Uncle Sam, standing on an oval-shaped block of wood, which has a "Made in Spain" sticker on the base. He has long, wavy hair under his jauntily creased hat brim, and is wearing a tie, buttoned vest, and a single-buttoned coat over long trousers, all of which is sculpturally creased. These types of statues were used for advertising.
