<p>[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 9780288, member: 8289"]I’ve had this little guy for a long time tucked away and recently pulled him out while looking for another piece. 12”H Excellent condition, meaning no breaks or chips. I never notice the metal imbedded before today. Who is he? Is this style metal imbedding dateable? Age? Could it be silver? Why some areas exposed metal while other parts are below finish? What’s the wood? My apologies for so many questions as stated, I never notice those before and it has my curiosity. Have you seen this before, asks Mr. Novice(me).</p><p><br /></p><p>red circle shows the width of metal(silver<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>Blue circle show wood pores(hopefully for identification).</p><p><br /></p><p>once again….
