No idea if there's any connection with your item, as the nickname of the BerylToysCanada page owner on Facebook, is doris.cheng.3939

 

interesting thanks mate, i put 2 and 2 together and came up with german

will try and get a better shot of the stamp

 

I won't tell the Quebecois.
Make sure komo doesn't see it.

 

I’m a bit confused, there’s a ? after the word bronze in the description then says it’s ceramic in the information.

 

No.

 

Charlie isn't sure either, so it seems to be a mystery figurine.
The base on Charlie's figurine doesn't look like bronze. It looks like it could be a softer material, and the striations are not very bronze-like.

 

I agree, I can see some typical tiny resin holes in the base but I have occasionally seen real hollow lost wax casting bronzes filled with resin there before. There should be a temperature difference between the body and the base if that’s so.

 

looks like i got poking to do

 

(eastenders drum exit)

reminds me of that meat loaf song...............nothing out of 2 is really quite bad indeed



its that terrible word again folks RRRRREEEESSSSSIIIIINNNN

 

Classic Quebec carving........

 

Actually it's in French - hand made. St John Port-something

Bet Komo is correct about it being Quebecois. They sell similar around Boston with paint on them. "The Gloucester fisherman."

 

he looks a little east end cockney villain to me, but there you go

 

Probably a relative!

 

..it's a family affair....

 

Three brothers. Add sculpting tools. Proceed to confuse the bejeebers out of dumb Murricans?

the younger very well groomed chap can certainly throw a look with those eyes

 

I have a pair by Andre...!!!
