Comparable Sales

Description
Rustic sporting dog figurine featuring a Black Labrador Retriever holding a Mallard duck in its mouth. The dog stands on a rocky outcrop atop a faux-wood grain pedestal base with a decorative wagon-wheel style backdrop. Detailed textured fur and feather painting. Approximate height: 7-8 inches.
Key Features
High appeal for hunting/sporting enthusiasts, 'Cabin-core' aesthetic, popular dog breed (Black Lab), functional as a heavy desk piece or decorative bookend.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a mass-produced decor item; check bottom for a gold foil 'Made in China' sticker or a stamped brand like 'Rivers Edge'. High confidence it is a common retail item.
Flaws to Note
Appears to be a single bookend rather than a pair, which significantly reduces value. Minor scuffing on the wood-look base and accumulation of dust that needs detailed cleaning.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (best for single heavy items to avoid shipping), eBay (wider reach for sporting collectibles), or a local antique mall booth with a 'Man Cave' or 'Cabin' theme.
Selling Tips
Use a soft toothbrush to remove dust from the 'fur' before photographing. Use keywords like 'Hunting Dog Decor', 'Duck Hunter Gift', and 'Mallard Lab Figurine'. If selling on eBay, calculate shipping carefully as resin is heavy and brittle.
