Signed bust of child

Can anyone identify the signature please?. There’s also a little wedge shape mark as in the bottom photo.
Bust is 6cm high and heavy so presumably brass?
Thankyou

 

Looks like "C Aaron"

Googling finds others with the same sig/interpretation, but I don't know if that's a person/company/mistranscription.

Same as yours, sold for $125 in 2013

Thankyou. Your googling skills are superior to mine!

 

Wow! My 50p is looking like a good investment. Thankyou for looking for me

 

I am not convinced that the name is right.

 

Or A Caron

No, it’s very clear but some of the letters don’t look like our alphabet.

 

It's the second one -- A Caron, not C Aaron.

 

You are good at this!. I think you may be spot on. One of those on that link has exactly this signature. Hopefully it isn’t a copy.

 

If I made it it'd be Aaron C. ...but I didn't

 

Ha! You could have claimed responsibility for it if you’d been quick enough!

 

Alexandre Auguste CARON (1857 - 1932)

 

The indistinct wedge mark is likely the foundry where the piece was cast, it doesn’t look to be the same one as on as the invaluable one.
