Subject:Chinese Mudman Approximate Age and Seal
Posted By: Steve Sat, Mar 02, 2024 IP: 2601:1c0:8483:1720:3

Hello again all,

I'm hoping someone might be able to read the imrinted stamp on this chinese Mudman figure, and make a reasonable guess as to it's age. Any further info would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time!

The fact that it is marked "China" means that it was imported into the US between 1891 and 1921.

Cheers,
Stan

Thank you Stan for your reply and this information. I did not know of this general rule. Does anyone know of a good handbook/guide for these mudmen statues? I'd like to learn more about them.

Also if anyone can read that stamp/makers mark that would be great!
