In the period between the two world wars an old sea dog by the name of Felix Count von Luckner was very popular both in the USA and among the youth of Germany where he captivated his listeners with tales of the sea. He was one of the last great sailing ship seamen and became famous as commander of the auxiliary cruiser "Seeadler" which towed home a number of captured ships after breaking through the English blockade. For entertainment at parties he used to tear thick telephone books in half before the eyes of amazed observers. Admittedly he didn't manage the telephone itself but now we could use the old count nowadays when the eternal ringing sometimes gets on our nerves.
He is 15 1/4" tall and 5 1/2" wide. He is carrying a scope in one hand an an anchor and a float in the other. He is wearing white pants, a white hat, and a blue top coat, all trimmed in gold. He is not stamped on the bottom but is found in the Steinbach book of the world best.
