Can anyone give me any info on a Bust I have

[JimFallRiver]

I am hoping someone can help me identify this piece of boxing memorabilia, I found this JOE LOUIS bust in the basement. This appears to be a plaster piece. The front reads Joe Louis, the back reads H.P.S.S. with a copyright c in a circle and the date 1935. The bust stands about 6 3/4'' tall X 5'' wide. I can not find any information on this piece or what H.P.S.S. stands for.. any help would be greatly appreciated,, thank you... J.F.R.

You may have already thought of this but Maybe consider the ss as secondary school. Check if any schools in the area you found it match. Looks like a talented young artist.

I believe it is a carnival chalkware piece.

I Sam, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I was away..
I think i'm going to hold on to it for a while.
But if you come up with any ideas let me know.

Thanks for all the help.
