Comments/description: Impressive, large, highly detailed chalk statue with the lion-on-barrel logo the main design attribute. The fine features of lightly-colored lion and barrel really jump out against the dark navy background. Lettering in circle and on base is embossed in gold. Nicest example of the very few we have seen. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Small chip above A of ALE is, by far, the largest imperfection. Other marks are small nicks and paint loss from the letters on the base. No cracks or repairs and the colors are all still very nice. This one is a real winner.
