Tom Clark Lilibet Gnome

By Imacessna1123, 26 July, 2010
Description

I worked at a sea turtle hospital for three years. A collector of turtle merchandise passed away and donated her life collection of everything turtle-related, of which this Tom Clark Lilibet gnome was enclosed. As you can see in the photos, the gnome is sitting on a turtle, hence the woman's possession of this item. I acquired this after filtering through boxes of the woman's belongings and researched the value, discovering that the MSRP is $1,220.00. After extensive research, I noticed a difference between my gnome and photographs of different gnomes: as seen in the photos, the coin on the left hand side of the image is partially covered by a leaf, whereas in other images of gnomes for sale, it is not. I am questioning whether or not my gnome is real and the others are reproductions, or vice-versa.
