Civil War Metal Eagle Statue

Please go ahead - I do not have Facebook so I can't post there. Thanks!

 

Here is a similar one with a base. Not sure there is any info to help out.

On the Ball , S I S !!!!!!!!

 

@Kronos Can you check the sold price and what year? Thanks! https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/return-of-old-abe-the-civil-war-eagle-bronze

 

$204.55 (2007)

 

Nearly twenty years ago! Thank you, Kronos.

 

It had the same repair too.

 

Old Abe's weak spot was his ankles! It's hard to believe there haven't been more of these sold in the last 20 years.

 

A tantalizing detail from that sale? ...

 

I went and double checked my eagle and there is nothing in that location. If it is a mark or signature, it's way too blurry for my eyes.

 

I can relate.

 

It may not have anything to do with it but the photo from Worthpoint that seems to show some numbers, looks like something like F9 followed by 655 to me. Google tells me that 655 is a type of bronze alloy developed in the 20th C. Not sure it's correct or might apply in any way to yours.

 

655 alloy bronze developed in the 1920s as an alternative to cast iron, according to the internet.

Interesting. I was doubting that the Worthpoint eagle was bronze at all.
