I got this fella from an antique store about 10 years ago for $25, I only remember this because the price is still stuck on the bottom. At first he looks to be made of ceramic but I think the material may be papier maché? He not only has a wobbly/nodding head but also serves as a money box. Looks to be hand-painted and his moustache appears to be real animal fur! The neck of the bottle he's holding had been snapped off when purchased and was replaced using some resin putty, some guesswork and colour matched with acrylic paint. Made by Lego Japan in 1960.
