Another Yard Sale Find

Several years ago, when I was doing eBay consignments for folk, a lady brought me what turned out to be a first cast bronze horse statue she had purchased at a yard sale for $5.00. It would sell for over $7000.00 to her great surprise. Below is a photo of the identical horse. It still happens folks but knowledge is power. The second and later casts do not bring that kind of money but still are valuable. Modern reproductions are only good for boat anchors!

This is an original first cast Antoine Louis Barye, famous French Animalier Sculpture. 

It is called "Turkish Horse" and was originally cast in 1844.
