Folk art, carved limberjack / jigger

Drawn on / painted on face and hair with nail eyes. These sometimes are given different names: Dancing Dan, Jumping Jack/Jill, jig doll, etc. but this one has "Happy Susan" written on the back in pencil. This is the only one I own with this kind of metal joining. Hard to date, but maybe 20's or 30's based on the face? 10 1/2 inches tall.
