A little head

[fyrffytr1]

Found this little guy at an early 1800s site but I don't believe it is anywhere near that old. It looks to be cast. Just curious if anyone might have an idea what it is?

Sorry, I don't go that route! But, it did get your attention. Maybe someone will know what it is.

Randy, you and I think along very similar lines.

Interesting find, looks early-19thc... maybe a 'flush-mounted figure' from a clock face?

Buster Brown toy that came with a pair of shoes?

He's wearing a tri-corner hat, right?

I'm thinking part of a "Spirit of '76" decorator item.

Bookend?

If its lead it may be from a 2-D toy figure.
