Vintage Carl Scheidig Porcelain Figurine - "Tramp and Scamp" (Hobo and Dog)

An exceptional collector's piece in excellent condition.

The Piece
This beautifully modelled figure depicts a wandering elderly man — the classic "Tramp" or "Hobo" — seated on a stool and tenderly petting his loyal dog "Scamp." The scene captures warmth, character and quiet humanity, rendered in fine matte porcelain with meticulous hand-painted detail throughout.
