Bronze 19th cen portrait?

[Wild Colonial Boy]

Just found this in two parts at 19th cen spot,

his collar was 2ft away

it is very thin probably stamped and mass produced, maybe election campaign piece?

he looks a bit Like president Garfield


Thanks

Cool find. Congrats

Except for the fuller beard, my first thought was it looked like Vladimir Lenin. Probably because of the chin/mouth area. Garfield is quite possible and probable though. Hope you can nail down exactly what and who it is. Cool find.

Agree. Campaign pinback. Could be Garfield. I'm thinking Hayes - 1876.



Has the mouth been carved modified or is it broken so it looks like his mouth is open?

Thank you, I will take a look at the mouth when I get home from work
I think it looks like something fit into it, or it went around something else
or maybe its missing

Interesting. Perhaps a "talk bubble" coming out?

Here's your item compared to a Hayes cane topper. Looks like a match to me.
