The base measures 4 1/2" x 7 1/4" and the golfer is 8 1/2 inches in height when measured from the bottom of the base. A whimsical and interesting piece of vintage golf statuary from the 1910s or 20s? The base appears to be brass-colored paint on cast metal, and the figure of the golfer itself is possibly bronze or? While originally made as an ashtray or bookend, it could easily work as a candy dish and make an entertaining display!
