This very popular figurine is typically found between 5 to 5½ inches tall. Initially modeled by master sculptor Arthur Moeller in 1946, earlier versions had a square, “waffle”base with the eyes open and looking over the top of the newspaper. Later versions, beginning in the mid-1960s, had a round base with the little boy looking down at the paper as if reading it. At one time, the paper was left blank for visitors to the factory to request a certain name be placed on the paper. This would result in a great many variations available on the secondary market to collect. There is much more to the history of this certain figurine and you would be hard pressed to find any other that has the variety that this certain figurine exhibits
In great condition no box!
