Come from a old gas station in Bellechasse region.
Thanks

Looks a lot like a Fisk Tire boy. What is it made from? How tall? Could you post a bigger photo?

Hi,
you're right, it's seem to be a Fisk Tire boy recycling in B/A boy. Why??? i don't know.
It seems to be in fiberglass, 30'' height, 23'' hand to hand.
thanks

In the 1960s, about 300 new fiberglass Fisk Boys were made and distributed to tire retailers. Info in discussion at this link: http://www.vintagevending.com/fisk-tire-boy-fiberglass-statue

Thanks for the link. I took some more photos with a better camera. I sadly could not find the tire that is supposed to go with it anywhere.   I also took a picture of a old grease can that was with it at the same time.  Have a nice day!

Jim is correct...that is a Fisk Boy that has been repainted

I don't know what the value would be on that, but as far as I am aware, that was probably painted at the gas station like that as I know of none that were painted in B/A logo and trim. Nice find.
Ken.
