Orioles Nodder Question
 

Is this guy an 80’s or 60’s nodder? He looks more like the 80’s, but my gut tells me he’s older than that. I can’t find this exact same example anywhere for reference. I’m far from a nodder expert, obviously. Thanks for any help.

appears to be 80's to me....The Orioles didn't adapt to that hat style until 1975

Ugh. Ok thanks very much!

Are the shoelaces painted? That's a sure sign of a 1990's nodder. The material is also a giveaway. Vintage nodders were made of some sort of composition (not paper mache, but kind of like it). The newer ones are heavier and more ceramic. The break in the head suggests ceramic, to me. The newer ones are even later than the 1980's...Twins Enterprises started doing them in about 1990.
