[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9800670, member: 84"]I found these 2 pieces at a local thrift store today & wanted to check with you to see what you thought of them before I put them in my estate sale tomorrow & Sunday! The first is a very HEAVY horse statue. It has pitting that made me thjnk it could be really old (as well as the face up close), but it also has the older slot screws on the bottom - one on each foot/hoof. Is it a door stop? Bookend? How old is it? The 2nd one is a Adubon print of a Spoonbill bird. Is there any way to tell how old it is/if it's an original? I'm wondering because there are 2 spots that were torn & taped together before putting it behind glass? And the back cover - I first thought it was a copper plate of the art in the thrift store but in the sun, maybe it'd been glued to something? Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
