I took this photo at Ace Typewriter here in Portland. I happened to have a point and shoot film camera with me as I had been doing some work on it was running a test roll of film through it that day. This would have been only my second visit to the shop, in which case I wasn't even familiar with Facit typewriters, let alone the Facit mascot himself. I simply thought it one of many an interesting thing worthy of capturing that day.

For those who haven't been there, Ace Typewriter is a total time warp. Matt, the owner (who himself has been working there in one form or another since he was around 8 years old), inherited the business from his parents, who founded the shop in 1961. Rather than a young business trying to pull off an authentic vintage look, Ace is the real deal — still in its original location after all this time. Most everything found inside the shop has been there for many, many years. I imagine this little guy (the cap long gone) has been kicking around inside the shop for the majority of its 6 decades.

Poor little fellow...does not even get to enjoy his twilight years next to a nice Facit T1 or T2,,,

Actually, he seems to be really admiring the SG1 and perhaps wondering why his company never produced something as good... 

Nice! 
Looks like the paint loss would be an easy fix.
 

Is the "Made in Germany" sticker on the figurine or the bag? No doubt that'll leave a gooey mess or end up removing more paint. Personally, I'd fix it up and display it, and in part because I don't think keeping it in its (potentially) original bag actually adds any value to it.
