[QUOTE="Arrigo, post: 4250974, member: 20892"]I have tried a few places with no luck, but I have a wooden sculpture that has been in my family for at least 40+ years (I saw it in our house as a child, so I know it’s at the least 30yrs old but can’t imagine it was made right before then). I can’t find any identifying marks on it, but I’m not really formidable with how they would sign these. The closest resembling sculpture I could find was from Noemi Schindler (almost identical to mine just that one is brass and crude looking). Mine is smooth and more defined. I know the pictures will pretty much do all the justice but, beyond that it’s 16 inches tall, about 5lbs in weight. The width of it is roughly 4-6 inches. The wood is black, it hasn’t been painted over at all so I know it’s not black from paint. We are from Bedford NY, near Greenwich CT. The best background I can give you beyond that is we knew a lot of people and came from a privileged area. I acquired this from my grandparents who raised me, who are both passed now. I’m just trying to figure out who and what this is from. I have it on show in my house but always look at it wishing I knew more. My grandfather was a giant collector of many things, none of which were ever really of no value, so any help would be greatly appreciated! By the way, it’s definitely dusty and I can’t bring myself to try and clean it because I don’t want to damage it. I can’t upload an image to the forum too large of a file but I made an Imgur of all my pictures. [URL]https://imgur.com/gallery/K9Q1pST[/URL][/QUOTE]
