    Description

    I recently purchased a small collection of metal animal figurines.    The owner of the collection did a fair amount of traveling, so there are some souvenir type of items which counts for the wide variety of pieces.  Some are cast iron, some bronze, some brass, and others are spelter.    They all are being listed this evening, so please take a look as I will be happy to combine any to save on shipping expense.
    This listing is for a wonderful depiction of a sperm whale ... think Moby Dick !!!   It is a perfect size to be a paperweight or to sit on a shelf to be admired.  I love the detail of the teeth !!
    He is solid lead.
    No marking on the underside -
    The piece has its original paint and patina which has aged with time, with no repaints or touchups.
    Expected age is from the 1930's ... which puts this at approximately 80 years old ...
    Photos were taken in artificial light both without and with flash.
