This is the earliest Marshall figure in my collection. He dates around 1928 and he is in pretty remarkable condition. His paint is all original as well as his crepe hair and beanie cap.
His paint coloration is an unusual yellowish shade not common for Marshall figures. The card inside his head gives Marshall’s State St. address.
