My grandmother had this little figure on her mantelpiece and as a child I was always fascinated by it. I can remember one day very politely asking her 'Grandma when you die can I please have that?' I thought it was a perfectly sensible question and couldn't work out why the adults fell apart laughing. Needless to say years later when she did die I could see very little charm in the little fellow as an ornament but still love him for the memories he holds.
How lovely that he holds special memories for you.
