This ROYAL DOULTON Figurine was only in production for a short time from 1959 until 1965 and so is quite scarce. It is HN 2244 'Newsboy' modelled by Devon based artist Mary Nicoll who specialised in both maritime and street figures. This one shows a newspaper boy with his papers under his arm and a checked cap on his head. He stands 8 1/2 inches tall (21.6cm).
