Super hard to find Esco chalkware statue of Louis Armstrong from 1972, a real collector item for black memorabilia collectors as well as fans of one of the world's greatest jazz musicians. The notable design feature of the Esco Louis Armstrong is the exaggerated size of the head and teeth, complemented with the nicely detailed and dressed body. Louis clutches his trumpet to his chest as he grins and prepares to play the next tune. Louis Armstrong was the first vital jazz soloist to attain world wide influence as trumpeter, entertainer, and show business personality. The statue stands approximately 16.0" high and 6.25" in diameter, and it's in very good condition save for the occasional place in the chalkware body where there are pin prick sized losses of paint, i.e. only noticeable upon very close in examination. The Louis Armstrong statue stands on a base which is inscribed Esco Products c. 1972.   /225
