Went out pickin at the local antique shops today and found this Seated Ocelot (Cat) - miniature. It has no mold or maker stamp. Is made of Ada clay, stands at 3" tall and is dark green to almost black (in the light it looks dark green). Is listed in old Frankoma sales catalogs as either mold 167 (ca. 1943) or 165 (ca. 42-57).
