Would anyone know how old this little guy is? It's about 1 1/2" tall made of unglazed ceramic or porcelain there is a seam on the sides, so i know it is mould made. Any idea of it's possible age would be great.

Hey rickbrk,

It appears to have had wire articulated arms. Yes? It looks, to me, to be a 1920ish example of what was called a Penny Bisque Doll in the 19th Century.

It has a bit of the Campbell Kid look, I think...
