Featured Help with possible antique

Hello everyone!
i couldnt think where else to ask about this.My mum bought this whale carving from a shop in berwick scotland, i found one identicle for sale on ebay for £40,000! imagine my surprise, there appear to be subtle differences but i was wondering if someone could help me understand this piece.I have attached my mums one as well as the seller on e-bays..very much appreciated

 

Ooops sorry inside this container is a small circle with "MARIE CELESTE"

 

Resin, not a carving.

 

Cheers terry, just mass produced junk?

 

It may be old and have a limited number of survivors. I would think it should fetch at least 40 bucks.

 

I'm pretty sure this is a cast item, not actually a carving. Souvenir value only, not 40,000 pounds.....
You might try posting a photo of the underside of the base.

 

maybe a real whale ' weighs ' 40,000 pounds.........but that's all.

 

Just curious, can you post a link to the Ebay piece?

 

Found it:

Boy that Ebay seller sure is optimistic.....

 

seller is just playing games............Clowfart !

 

The ebay one shows a mark on the back under the tale.
Does your have the same mark? Can you take a better picture of it?

 

YA THINK????????????????????

 

Our Ebidet entrepreneur has gotten so excited by the views from us that he has raised the price to $49,000 then graciously offered a discount so we are saving money! I can barely control my enthusiasm.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whale-Carving-2-pieces-Marie-Celeste-mystery-solved-look-inside-tell-me-more/142447056990?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=a3a1eab8f31e4763a6880df3e9c9d2cf&pid=100675&rk=2&rkt=15&sd=142492428889&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A36e25f75-9845-11e7-85ec-74dbd18015d4%7Cparentrq%3A79bb45df15e0aa16427358d1fffbd1f4%7Ciid%3A1

 

Deleted because of inaccurate information.
So Sorry.

 

I believe OP's is the picture on the left. The one on the right was noted as being from the Ebay auction.

 

You are so correct and I am so wrong.
Will delete the above post.
Thanks for correcting me.

 

You had me looking! It was an easy mistake to make. We have all seen things like that before.....

 

Looking at the ebay sellers other listings I think the seller made a mistake entering the asking price. I'd guess his price is 44.59 IMHO.

 

Then the discount was his chance to correct that.....but he didn't ..did he !

He says.....make an offer..& don't let the opening price put you off.....so I'm thinking he meant the full price.....just to get views..!
