Hi banjo b,
Nice find. One of these was posted some time back, (see archive 11/06/07). I think they were fibre-glass. Have posted mine which is made from gypsum-plaster and hand painted, manufactured by "Legend Products" based local to me in Wrexham, North Wales. When I enquired about the figure they said they were commisioned by "Orlik" pipes in late 70s to produce 100 of them for the bigger stores and shops. Yours I think is an earlier version done in fibre glass.
