Help Identifying Indian on Horseback (1 Viewer)

[Clutch Cargo]

Hello Folks, I have this indian on Horseback with a rifle that I cannot identify. Similar to a Barclay's BAC but not quite. It measures a little less than 3 inches across and about 2 1/4 inches high.

Thanks in advance....Clutch

This is another job for John (johnnybach). If anyone can identify hollowcast cowboys and Indians at this point, he can.

Prost!

I know enough about many of the old British Hollowcasts to ID MOST of them Brad - but I have never seen one like this before. If I had to make a guess ( because of the style), I would have guessed Barclay/Manoil. It has that "narrow" look about it - which reminds me of the very few that I've seen over this side of the pond. (and I mean VERY few over here). But that's just my guess.

You either know 'em or you don't - and I don't know this one.

Who is the Barclay-Manoil expert over there - where they were made, of course?????? jb

I think you're right that it's a dimestore. I can check in O'Brien's book and see.

Prost!

Gentle Friends,

I am certainly no expert when it comes to American dimestore figures or old British hollowcast figures, but this figure reminds me of some of the post WWII Japanese produced figures I have seen. The Japanese were fond of producing figures based on the dimestore figures, but in a much smaller scale. The dimensions Clutch mentioned seems to me to fit the size pattern of the Japanese produced figures rather than American dimestore figures.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Thank You folks. I did see something similar to a Barclays, just a little different and a bit smaller. Could be japan.
