Peter was thinking at one time of restoring the original nose, but I told Ray to leave it because it makes him unique among Marshalls, and -- now that I've seen your Mack -- it seems there is some historical precedent.

You are correct about the monacle. Charlies had no glass but I happened to have this so I used it. I should find one without the glass though. The nose on this Mack figure is original and was carved this way. This head dates about 1920. I happen to know , from Ray Guyll, that your nose on Oscar is an add on. Most likely done by Peter. Ray discussed this with me during his restoration of Oscar for you. Hi George!! You are correct about the monacle. Charlies had no glass but I happened to have this so I used it.

I notice it has glass in it, unlike the pictures I've seen of Charlie's monicle I've seen that appear to be "glass-less." Interesting, the wider nose looks something like the nose on my Oscar, which Ray Guyll said was an add-on -- either by Frank Marshall or by Peter Rich. Oscar is a 1947 Marshall Did you add the monicle or did it come with the figure?
