You can see in the images that Martin used the details of the L’Hercule Populaire and/of the Le Bonhomme A L’échelle from 1904, (a wig and no mustage ), to design this toy. Whether this is a unique one-off piece or whether there was a production run is unknown, I know there is at least one bassist.
In this 1904 image below, of the Martin toy booth at the World’s Fair in Saint-Louis, you can see this figure standing by the red arrows.
