A Thrift Store Find: A Vintage Brooklyn Dodger "Bum" Figurine

Could you say no to this face? I certainly couldn't.

I've recently discovered the joy of the hunt... And I don't mean the kind of hunting that requires a firearm. Instead, I've become a thrift store shopper. Just like that stupid song from Macklemore, I've been "lookin' to pop some tags and I've got only $20 in my pocket."

Featured here is a painted, circa 1950's, porcelain figurine of the Brooklyn Dodger "Bum" that I took home for under $10. It stands approximately 10" tall and is purported to have been produced in Japan for Shields 5th Avenue -- a men's jewelry outfit located in Manhattan in the 40's and 50's.
