 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.

 Statuette of the Youthful Herakles (Getty Museum)
Although the figure is very muscular as is fitting for the hero, neither his long, slender build nor the boyish face with small jaw and delicate features is in keeping with the standard image of Herakles.
It appears to have originated in Italy in the 200s B.C. For example, the long proportions of this statuette find parallels in those favored in the contemporary sculpture of the Greek colony of Tarentum in South Italy.
The unusual and somewhat individualized facial features of this statuette have raised the possibility that it is actually a Hellenistic ruler represented in the guise of Herakles.
