<p>[QUOTE="David Edward, post: 4469237, member: 64940"]I recently acquired a large collection (from friends of mine)of Chinese (dolls, Buddha, soapstone carvings) Japanese (Buddha, 1 netsuke, Occ. Japan bowls) and Marshall Island (shells, Penguin Lighter) collectables. I am long time collector absolutely thrilled these items came to my care. The original owners were a school teacher and scientist/diver who was stationed at the Marshall Islands in the late 1950’s. I have hundreds of shells (abalone, cones, marlin spikes) all gathered in the late 1950’s while the US was testing weapons.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please have a look at the pictures of the carved rat or mouse. I believe it is a Netsuke and it is signed on his bottom. It is with a small yellow stand I thought could be amber. He measures 1.25” and weighs 26 grams. Would like any information and help as to what I have here.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]386699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386700[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]386701[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
