Description: Here is a rare vintage Walter Bosse skier figure. We have seen other skier figures by Bosse, but we have never this example with the skier carrying is skis on his shoulder. All the others we have seen are the skier actually on their skis going downhill. We have been trying to find another like it for a couple of years with no luck. Signed “Austria Baller” on the bottom.
