    I agree. The news recently had a thrift shop finding an original painting with a personal letter attached to the back by the artist. Sold on auction for over $8000 I think. BTW- I used to love watching that show.

    Not sure, but I think it has 'Heredities' printed on the base??

    If so this was an English company that did cold cast bronze sculptures and actually went out of business in about 2003, think another company took them over but the sculptures are not as good now

    I have one of their original ones called 'first love' that was bought for me after I had my first child, so about 11 years ago, when it cost about £100 GBP

    Not sure what yours is worth, but I believe Heredities are still very collectible, not sure who the artist is I could make out some of the letters WELP--------??
