[QUOTE="Shawnshank, post: 387499, member: 8183"]I recently picked up this eagle plaque which is made from some type of hard but lightweight plastic. I looks like it was made from some kind mold of an actual wood carved eagle. I can't quite make out the name on the bottom and I searched a bunch of variations of what I thought it could be but could not find the company or this particular eagle. I think it says PLASTIK CORP. or PLASTEK CORP. 1976 I believe. I know these plastic type of plaques are pretty common but mine is big @ approx 43" long and 18" tall. I don't remember ever seeing any this big. It is broken on the eagles tail...a piece is missing but you really don't notice it. I paid $30 for it. What do you think? Rarity, value etc? P.S. I have plans to paint part of it and gold leaf the eagle...I just want to make sure I'm not destroying the value when I do especially if it's a one off or really rare.[/QUOTE]
