Vienna bronzes invasion!
My last addition is this early large figural monkey pen/nib wiper (or pen wipe).
Marked Geschütz (copyright)
Got it for some money, but far less than most of large animals are sold for, so I consider he is a bargain :-)
16 cm long x 8 cm high
weigh 480 grams!
Has some paint loss, but he will remain as is, I don't want to turn him in a baboon with red face and butt :-D
He's wonderful Kyra!!
Wow Scott, that was fast! Thank you for a wonderful comment and lovely visit :-)
Martika and Pops you are first early lovers too! Thanks a lot :-)
A beauty of a bronze with some exceptional detail that is amazing !~
This is fab, kyra!
He is adorable Pascale, love him!!! Oh good....no baboons... lol.....
Phil, right, plus these large size are rare!
Bonnie, same to you ;-))
Judy, yes, I'll avoid baboon look :-)
Thank you fo your nice comments!
Many thanks Mani, Valentino, Mike, Aura, Kevin, Karen and Caperkid for all your loves :-D
Sooooooo cooooool!!!

Many thanks for all your loves, Paul, Ho2cultcha, Jean, AzTom, Recordmantime, Sean and Mike :-)
Many thanks for visiting the monkey and loving him, Thomas, Marga and Rick!
Just received! Gently cleaned his lovely face to reveal the pink tone of skin :-)
That's an amazing old piece at fraction retail price, yepeee!
Seller described him as a pin cushion... and couldn't read the Geschütz word.
Very cool figure. I was lucky enough to find a 5" Geschutz horse figure on Sunday for the grand sum of $1.79 no kidding, I see the same one on E-Bay for a big amount.
He is such a sweetie.....well done!
Woooh, Rockbat! That's a dream! I would love to see your horse, please...POST IT
:-)
Judy, you're another... sweetie!

Kyratango, I was very excited, It was just thrown in a plastic bin, that other people had already ransacked. I just thought it was a very nice horse figure. I hadn't realized those Vienna bronzes were that big. I, believe it or not do not have a camera or a cell phone. so sorry about not being able to post a picture.
Haha, Rockbat! You need to find a digital camera in a plastic bin ;-))
You saved that horse from beeing shattered among cheap things... What a luck you have...Both! Big Vienna bronzes are very expensive...
Many thanks for loving the monkey, AnnaB and Mcheconi :-)
Another brother for him, turned into a pincushion and in lower condition... sold for 388$ in 2014 :-))
