| | Viquesney's Doughboy Statuette |
 | | ike the lamps, the statuettes came in at least three finishes: dark chocolate, "bronze spray", and genuine bronze plated, depending upon when they were manufactured; the dark chocolate ones are usually earlier models and always say "Americus, Georgia" on the back. |
 | | Some of the statuettes (and lamps) vary slightly as to facial expression and details of the uniform, probably due to the fact that different molds were used at various factories in the East, Midwest, and South. |
 | | The 12-inch metal desktop statuette was the most popular of Viquesney's miniature Doughboys, and along with the lamp was often given away as a prize at fundraisers for the large monument. |
