thanks codydogg i love this old piece it is cast and it is very old i think mid 1850's or little later ,but she neat and i think what you said about must of been someone who had some bucks to have had her in the middle of the garden and when i say garden i mean someone who pays someone to keep there garden up, like on a nashville plantion owner back in the 1800's ,thanks louis w.
