    I have not seen one of these before, but suspect it comes from India. Normally I walk right by brass stuff, but this was on the table of a dealer friend. All hand etched. After a good scrub with Brasso, this little guy is all clean again. I wonder if it is supposed to be used as a "Reserved" card holder/name card holder for a restaurant table setting, since the mouth is open. Then again, maybe not....

    :-)))))))

    Thanks for looking/loving, CW friends!

      Not sure what that's supposed to be, but don't think it's a ray or a skate.

      bb2 - that's the only thing I could come up with...maybe it's the red eyes! LOL
    3. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      I have red eyes, but I'm not a ray. A cheap skate maybe ! Head like a mud puppy. Maybe it's an identifit ?

      Whatever the heck it is, it gives me the willies.... lol .... [;>)

    6. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      bb2 - at least I have a one-of-a-kind critter! LOL
    7. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      NB - well, I think my critter is adorable. I just couldn't leave it ,all tarnished and unloved, at the flea market...

      :-)))))

      Karen - it would make a great brooch, wouldn't it!

      It may be a knife rest or a chopstick rest. Several fish knife rests with red eyes, but no sculpin!

      That is so cute Efesgirl!!! whatever it is....love it!!
    11. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      LOL motorhead...I vote for a mixed breed fish: stingray, skate and sculpin: a Stakepin!
