School Boy, Red Wing 1122, Charles Murphy designer
Question:
I inherited a statue that i was told was red wing. My mohter told me it was valuable and also had some notes written about it. She said it was called "school boy" and also thought it was numbered 1121 or 1122. he is a boy holding an apple behind his back and is about 8" tall or so. can you confirm this to be red wing and if so can you provide an approximate value so ai may insure it? I would appreciate it much. thanks! Tim
