    I found this at a thrift store last week. It says Dolbi Cashier on a sticker on the bottom.
    Googling Dolbi Cashier brass antelope shows different figures but I didn't see this one.
    How old is this? (it looks like it'd fit in a MCM decor perfectly!)
    Is it rare?
    Is there anything I should know about it?
    Thank you!

    Is that a metal tag? Looks like it's poorly struck and "Dolbi Cashier" may actually be something else. And I suspect 198 is start of date. The style is Art Deco but retro not genuine period.

    Looks like the company was founded in 1978. Lots on eBay including some really nice pieces. I can’t see yours anywhere but it looks like they sell in the £100-£200 range.

    Found this, KSW beat me to it ;)
    Dolbi Cashier was founded in 1978 and was a trade name of Gallery House Inc, Illinois. They specialized in decorative accessories and was owned by Ed Shulman who created design ideas.

    Looks like the 1980s does Art Deco to me.

    Same here. That said, brass was back in for a while. Might still be, and that thing is highly decorative.
