Stephen Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 has to be vintage? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Welcome-maneki-neko-Beckoning-Lucky-Figurine-Cat-Coin-Bank-antique-from-Japan/183137234330?hash=item2aa3d46d9a:g:DWUAAOSwJ5tZ1hmS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obiwanknabbe Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 yea steve.. i see the modern ones all over.. but to put it into perspective, i see it as being akin to nco swords vs gendaito..there is just no love in the making of it. I think i found something else anyway.. It is a gift for a friend who we jokingly both call the crazy cat lady of my circle.. found a egyptian Bastet statue from 350 bc. Nice piece. solid dealer.

Ray Singer Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Glad you found something Kurt. I actually located one other Meiji example, but quite pricey. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/526217537704104188/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
