Tom Palmerton DU Bronze Sculpture-Value??
If there's anybody that can give me a value, for a recently acquired Bronze sculpture-I'd sure appreciate it; as I need to value it for Insurance purposes.
I acquired it from a widow, who's husband won it in 1993.
The sculptor is Tom Palmerton.
It's titled: Day Breaker, with a Mallard drake landing among some catails.
Approximately 12 inches tall and 14 inches wide.
It is marked as 2 0f 2 DU 1993.
A very beautiful piece.
A Ducks Unlimited member said that there were two raffled in 1993, as a top prize for the year: one in Eastern (flyway)USA and one in Central (flyway) USA.
I can email a picture if somebody wants to see it.
