Black and green striped encased Penguin pair ID help?
« on: September 05, 2010, 01:49:49 PM »
Must be the day of the penguin lol I have a penguin ID request too!
No mark or acid stamp or tag.... and there are red grease pencil marks on mine too :-)!
I know bottom on both is tough to see but clicking on pic might give a better view and now that I am awake I can try an outdoor shot of bases if need be. They are hollow but real heavy. The holes  are polished but the inner edge of breakaway iis still a bit sharp.

 Lrg one is about 7.5 inches tall and the smaller is about 5.5 inches tall

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!! Hope everyone is having a great wknd!

I've seen these type penguins attributed to Livio Seguso. I looked to see if I had a picture with a label, but unfortunately didn't. If you search Livio Seguso penguin, you might be able to find a labelled one like yours.

Hi Kathleen, came accross this today and wondered if there was any similarity to your penguins.....the seller may have more info than is listed......is it worth asking?
