Who Am I?

Unknown 33-inch male figure

Speaking for this figure,

I am a 33-inch male figure. I don't know if I am  a doll or a store counter mannequin. Because of my clothes, my owner thinks I might be from the '30s or '40s.

I was formerly owned by a collector who has passed away. Her family did not know anything about her dolls, most of which were from the 1920s through 1950s.

I have a tan-brown complexion, black straight hair, and a cigarette or cigar in my mouth. My body, legs, and left arm are straw filled with a wire inside for posing the arm. My right arm is jointed in the shoulder and elbow and also made of wood. My feet are wooden shoes. The bottom of one of my shoes has a paper label marked 'Made in Spain'. My hands are solid latex rubber and are molded to hold something. My eyes are glass, and my eyebrows are either hair or some kind of fur. My head is either made of thick paper maché or paper maché over composition and my face is flocked.

Who am I?

Any leads that will help identify this unusual figure will be greatly appreciated and passed on to the current owner. Thank you in advance.
