Vintage Hickory Stripe Sportin' Pint Sized Railroad Engineer

Great vintage Railroad Engineer Doll offered up by our friend and neighbor Jason this past Sunday at the Rose Bowl. We can always count on The J-Man to brighten the dark mornings and long days with his spot on sense of humor and tales from the trenches. He literally rolled over using a shop stool on casters as his method of transportation, holding this guy which he referred to as a small version of yours truly. This pint sized engineer's express stripe uniform included engineer cap, 2 pocket engineer jacket with watch chain, cuffed overalls and a denim work shirt. A nice alternative to standard bearer Buddy Lee. I believe he's still looking for a good home, interested parties can contact the Good Humor Man via the STARLITE ROOM and be sure to check out his rants via his BEER, BAIT and AMMO blog.
