Handless Jacques - Marblehead, Ohio - Highway Giants - Muffler Men on Waymarking.com

This muffler man is affectionately known as Handless Jacques by some. He has seen better days, and has been relocated from his original location.

Jacques was originally in place in front of Jacques' Roast Beef sandwich restaurant, and held a roast beef sandwich along Lexington Ave in Mansfield, Ohio.

Eventually Jacques' changed into a pizzeria. Giant Jacques traded his sandwich for a pizza, and his name for "Big Pierre."

It is said that eventually Jacques/Pierre was deemed a hazard to traffic in Mansfield, and he was carted off to his present day location in Marblehead, Ohio. He now holds nothing, exposing that he has no hands, and longingly stares toward Lake Erie.

Along with the Roadside America site, Jacques has been mentioned in Ohio Oddities by Neil Zurcher, and Weird Ohio, by James A Willis, Andrew Henderson, and Loren Coleman. He's likely in other books as well, but these are the ones I had on hand where I was able to find him.
