<p>[QUOTE="vintagerobin, post: 269949, member: 486"]I bought this at auction for $2. It's heavy brass, maybe bronze. At first it just looks like a dog figurine but it's odd. The head comes off and there's a hole going down into the body. But there's no matching hole in the head. There's also a recess in the bottom and it looks like there's black ink there. It also looks like ink has run down the outside next to the hole. But it could be something that was used to age the brass. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's 3" long. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas? Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]85173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85174[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85175[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85176[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
