He's cute. Repro Hollywood regency (i.e. West Elm etc) not so much.

 

I've seen worse looking parrots !!!!
& you didn't get burned on anything......so ...Win Win !!!

 

You're right, both!!
I thank these Forums for teaching me about painted bronze AND fakes thereof.

 

Went to a church sale this morning. The money was going to support multiple causes outside the church itself, so I deliberately gave them a few extra dollars. Found a little scrap gold after the scrapper in front of me went right over it. Che here is new in the box. Fifty cents and signed by the Attleboro MA outfit who made them. They came along just for their sheer goofiness. The bracelet was three bucks - my downfall, enameled copper. My best find was new pajama pants with the tags on them. Second best, the coffee pot.(LOL)

 

Che was one hot Communist. I sell portraits of him... he's still popular among Latinos... I guess they (I) overlook the whole Castro thing.

 

Not my idea of a nice guy, but if he sells....(LOL)

 

Cha-ching.

 

Nice parrot gila!
I picked up some photos (dags and ambro), sweet dog print and an early photo that I think is of Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park Vancouver

 

Cxgirl, I'm just curious but . . . what is the title/writing on the bottom edge of the two-dogs print? I really like it.

 

looks like lost lagoon......and it's in the right market !!!
That's where I saw my 1st live wood ducks.....to this day...my favorites !!!

Nice collection of photo's too !!

 

thanks yourturn and komokwa!
yourturn, it says Dignity and Impudence by Sir Edwin Landseer. The face on the little guy is just wonderful

 

Nice finds CX. Just send me those dags/ambros. Save you the hassle of trying to sell them.

 

I love it even more with that title of "Dignity and Impudence."

 

the fountain at lost lagoon is very different and not that close to the shore ,I grew up there. , but it does remind me of it nice pictures

 

cxgirl: have you taken that swan print out of its frame? there might be a caption right at the bottom or on the back. Then again, there might not be. The glass probably needs to be cleaned inside and out anyhow.

 

Thanks Lloyd Back to trying to figure it out, lol.
MOS, Yes, I took it out of the frame (after taking this photo) but nothing on the back or the bottom.

 

Oh!!!!
I'm stunned that you're not ecstatic about this!!!!!

 

Just as well. I hit some sales this weekend. The local food banks made out OK.

 

I guess I was just unhappy that I didn't find an amazing treasure!
But I did get a cute pencil-holder, yes!

 

On your 1st day out .....just be happy you weren't reamed....
