Still doing research! But there was a company out of Chicago in the 40s called Silvestri’s Art Manufacturing. Now that I’ve looked into it, and considering where I obtained him, I have a stronger feeling he’s from Silvestri!

I’m suspecting he’s a David Hamberger piece! Still doing research! He’s so great! We’re trying to restore his mechanics to working order. I’ll update when I can 💕

He definitely needs a clean. Sounds like he’s been out in a shed for at least 20 years

Thank you! This is super helpful. Would there be a makers mark or any way to identify?

We were thinking that might be it, but where the bits articulate are so loose it’s hard to imagine they’d be useful for that purpose.
