I picked up this Owl statue at a 2nd hand store the other day it's not to to old because theres a  Copy right  sign that says 78 ( 1978) on the back and 369. With,  dark brown felt on it's feet and tail feathers.
It's light brown made out of ceramics. Detailed chest and in between  the wings are sand colored also on the back of the head theres a sand colored diamond. ( Playing card type diamond)
I tried looking up Lloyd Bryan  and could find nothing  relevent, does anyone know who he is or know where I can find information about his work?
Also the price for the Owl.
I tried to be as detailed as possible.

I have this battery jar it say on the front disque leclanche the e cl co and it's made in Boston Ma.
on the back theres in structions on how to set up and use the battery:
(“OUR OWN”  DISQUE LECLANCHE BATTERYDIRECTIONS FOR SETTING UP AND USINGFirst – Put the contents of paper bag (Sal Ammoniac) in the glass jar, fill one third full of warm water, and stir well.Second – Insert the Porous Cup and Zinc, being careful that the mixture does not rise within 1 1\2 inches of the top, or quite up to the line of paraffine.Third – Pour a little water into the air holes of Porous Cups and let the cells stand a few hours before connecting the poles, so that the solution may saturate the contents of the Cups.   Note – If immediate work is required, use HOT WATER. The battery should not be set to work, however, until the Porous Cup and its contents are well soaked.Fourth – Set the Battery in a dry, cool place.  See that the connections are clean and firmly made, and that the connecting wires are properly insulated.Fifth – When adding water or Sal Ammoniac to supply the loss by evaporation, be careful to keep the top of the Porous Cup and Jar entirely dry and clean.Sixth – When the Battery fails to work satisfactorily, throw out the solution and substitute a fresh charge of Sal Ammoniac and Water)


the label is on the backany ideahowold it is and what it's worth?
