<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4492200, member: 84"]I found this at a friend's 2nd hand/thrift store today. He had it on a shelf with a bunch of indian & buddha statues (he's spanish (I think he's cuban) & he's told me before that the statues bring him luck). This piece was new; I'd never seen it before so I asked him if he'd sell it? </p><p>At first he said no, but then I told him I'd give him $100 for it - and that it wasn't an indian or buddha so it wasn't going to bring bad luck to sell it - he thought for a moment, called his wife over & spoke to her, and then agreed to sell it to me!</p><p>Now I need to know if I got a good deal or did I shoot myself in the foot - again!? Can anyone tell me anything about it?</p><p>I know I've seen that star like symbol on the top of it's head before - what does that mean?</p><p>Any information would be greatly appreciated!</p><p>It measures 8" wide x 4" high.</p><p>Thank you! </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391744[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391745[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391747[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]391748[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>PS - HERE IS ANOTHER COOL PIECE I FOUND TODAY; IT'S A VINTAGE (1950s? 1960s?)
