I assume you found this one. https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/10339087

I see Groucho played a waiter in the movie "Double Dynamite" from 1951. Maybe yours is based on that?

I saw that but i am not a member so didn`t know what it sold for !!

Sold for: £360
ESTIMATE: £500 - £750|

i have managed to speak with the artist who created it.
I carved this whilst working in China in 1997 for Minster Giftware and it sold for a couple of years. It was part of a range of sculptures that was mostly for restaurants
its Groucho Marx, he was originally sold with glasses and it is made of resin but it's then has a coating of amber to make it look like it's carved from wood

Shame im missing his glasses but atleast i know his history now:)

hi there, i was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this item. I have tried to search the internet and didnt find much of help. Only thing i can find like it says mid century french but they all look different, the only place i can see any info it says 1967 rimini, Any light you can shed will be helpful. I love the old map style that is on it most seems latin named, it has months and horriscopes aroud the outside edge and the star charts in the lid.
It said my attachment to big so created a gallery http://imgur.com/a/8Clkz
