<p>[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 1407922, member: 2022"]I agree, looks like you could buy it at a dime store (do they still exist?) - I'm thinking a poorly cast brass/bronze bust and probably mass produced as stated. All the black rough areas show the true quality of the casting, lots of porosity and roughness from low quality sand molds - the shiny surfaces are the results of heavy polishing. Alot of these castings are from India.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
