Title: Old Man Wood Carving Statue

Measures approx. a foot tall. On the back in small lettering, it says "Valentine", and they listed their social security number and driver's license number?? lol Sort of hard to read it, though. Anyone know what this might be worth? Thank you! ;)

Only reason someone would put those numbers on is to prevent theft and make sure it is returned if stolen !! May have been added a long time before identity theft was common !! So I am guessing it is from at least mid century !!
