Jockey bookend/statue

Hi all,found several examples and other versions online. Some with high values (also claiming part of the 21 club story) Only the lower part of the figure is magnetic (so weighted?) Stands about 28cm tall in all (wooden base is 11cm wide) There’s only brown felt at the bottom.Guessing this is a reproduction? What would the possible age be? Maybe 80’s or so? Who’s Alan Black? Just a random person? (Couldn’t find any link) Thank you for any comments

 

Not a bookend, no flat back to rest the books against.

Maybe even more recent.

 

Looks to me to be just a momento from horse racing with the thorobreds.
I did a fast search and could not find an exact match with the name. Not a bookend to my knowledge

I sold one a long time ago that was a bobble head but I don't remember the name,

 

I did a better search and found a Corey Alan Black jockey but I have no idea if that is what you have. Maybe there is a facebook collectors place you can inquire.
Also it may be a bookend, I see many were sold as a pair. They do have value if it was from that 21 Club.
I would dig around some more.

 

I agree with AJ that it's not a bookend. From the photos provided, the only surface that would touch/hold the books is the base, the figure appears centered on the base... unless it's leaning back? (No side view shown.)

 

Appreciate the all the effort ,thank you!.

 

Interesting! Thanks again. I couldn’t find any likely or possible connection.

 

I was also surprised and doubtful regarding it being a bookend. But I saw the ‘bookend’ mentioned on various sites with some ridiculous prices. Not sure how they can prove the 21 club connection. Thanks again for the comments.

Is the 21 club back in biz again? I thought I read that, but maybe not. Perhaps you can give that a look.

I would think there is some collectors club online for racing goodies. I am not on facebook or any other site so I can't help with that.
I see some of the jockeys have 21 club embossed on the the item somewhere.
Good luck..

 

Thanks. I will see what I find out. If it’s anything interesting then I will also provide feedback. I really don’t think this one is 21 (no markings anywhere) and it doesn’t look that old at all. But looking for a online collectors group for horse racing items is a very good idea
