<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 3137489, member: 71642&quot;]Can&#039;t believe I haven&#039;t posted this one here, though technically a bronze I suppose.&nbsp; Fell in love with it out of a picture in a book where all that was listed was the measurement (137mm), artist (Vernon), and presumptive name (&#039;centaure?&#039;), and year (1935?).&nbsp; I was surprised by the lack of details and the ? marks.&nbsp; Most of the medals in the book did not have question marks.&nbsp; Vernon is a rather prominent medal designer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway it hits my &#039;art deco&#039;, &#039;sighthound&#039;, &#039;mythology&#039;, and &#039;horse&#039; buttons.&nbsp; All that&#039;s missing is a pregnant lady and a stork to pretty much hit my favorites.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thing is massive!&nbsp; Have no idea how much it weighs, or how much it&#039;s &#039;worth&#039;.&nbsp; I paid the asking price after having asked about it for years.&nbsp; A guy I met at NYINC found it in France...so the &#039;delivered price&#039; was at least partially towards the large shipping fee.</p><p><br /></p><p>Quickie phone pix I haven&#039;t fixed yet.&nbsp; Have a bit of a lighting change that should resolve those hot spots next time I try to photo it.&nbsp; It&#039;s too big for my camera so the cell phone will have to do (in fact, I have a new phone since then, so I really need to get to trying this).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]801388[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>and for size</p><p>[ATTACH=full]801389[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
