Description

Hi there,

 

My mother bought me a pair of Staffordshire dogs at an Antique mall and I would like to know something about their authenticity (I am assuming they are replicas from the research I have done but would be happily corrected).  I would really like to know how old they are and approximate value.  I know what mom paid and am hoping she wasn't bamboozled.

 

Thank you,

Jennifer

I am sorry to advise you that these are not period items, but they are English circa 1940's - 1950's.  The sell routinely at auction for about $75.  They are still very cool.
