This EMPIRE STATE BUILDING 4" Metal Souvenir ~ New York City appears to be from the 1950's and definitely pre 1971 when it became no longer the tallest building in the world as is noted on one side of the base of the statue. It's made of metal poured into a mold. The spire has been broken off the top. Other than that the statue has survived the years intact.
