When I unpacked this beaut yesterday I was elated. Speed Nymph : Art Deco Mascot Masterpiece
About the time I was in the market I saw a very poor reproduction on E-bay and I was shocked that people were actually bidding on it. The legs were cut off !!~
I bought this from Denhams Auctioneers in England about 3 weeks ago. The detail on this original is beautiful and more wonderful than I imagined. It is silver plated bronze (not polished) and it looks particularly good beside my Sasportas Batman, they have the same posturing which is what art deco is all about.
It looks perfect with one of the art deco bases I showed the other day.
Art DecoArt Deco was an international design and art movement in the 1920s and ’30s…
Hood OrnamentsFrom their plain beginnings as manufacturer’s badges installed on car radia…
I can just see it on one of those bases..:-)
Thanks Inky, perfect for the base !-phil.
She's a beauty!

I had to come back for another look at her curves, I might have to sneak over for a closer look ;-)
LOL David . You better lock these up Phil ! :-)
David, who needs a guard dog on this site, got my own !~Mani serves and protects.
You can't get anything past Mani, I can see her a feisty little Jack Russell Terrier ;-)
Real Nice!!!!
Certainly looks like she is enjoying the wind in her hair and the sun on her face!..on her base yet!?....:-)
She is on a base and may stay on the stepped pyramid style base that I got, thanks.
