Subject: [Phono-L] Victor / nipper Dog item found, question
Phono Listers:
I found a curious item in a junk shop in Iowa last week and want to know
more about it.
It is a little Victor / nipper Dog either mettle or pewter, not sure. I
touched a magnet to it and it didn't stick. Maybe "brass"/?
It is silver / grey ( pewter" and is on a round bass which is 2.25 in
diameter. On the base in the front, is "Victor" and underneath the bass it
has a hole which must allow it to be threaded on something.
It has " H. A. Reif mfg Co Phila on the underside of the base as well.
From the base to the top of nipper's ear is 3.25 of an inch.
I thought it may be a "hood ornament" however mentioned it to someone and
well "*****" , I really didn't think it was that poor of an idea! *grin*
Your assistance is appreciated
Bob
