German Nodder was manufactured by Helco of Western Germany in the 60's. He is 9" tall and made of hard vinyl. He has inset eyes, molded painted features, and has a white "fur" mustache. Around his neck is a silver chain with a medallion that says "ORIGINAL/®/WESTERN GERMANY". He is marked "HELCO ®" on the base. The paint is in fabulous condition with no damage. He would make a nice addition to any collection.
