A World War II era sailor in dress blues, raising a brass trumpet to his lips mid-tune. He wears the classic crackerjack uniform - a middy jumper with a squared flap collar and rank striping on the sleeve, bell-bottom trousers, and the round white sailor cap with an anchor badge.

The lively, feet-apart stance and lifted horn capture the spirit of a shipboard band or a dockside send-off, a small burst of music in wartime.

He makes a characterful addition to a naval-port diorama, a 1940s home-front celebration, or a military parade scene. Group him with other sailors and a band to fill out a wartime waterfront, or place him solo as a memorable street musician.
