Thanks. Really nice of you to take the time and help me.

No family member. The city of Newport Beach had a lien on the boat. All assets inside the boat where passed on to me free of lien. Is there anyone in Los Angeles that I could take my 25 piece to and verify if real or fake?

Lucky for me I did not pay anything. The boat owner past away named Jack McCoy the man that invented “The Last Contest” the most famous radio talk show Comercial in the 70’s. His boat was left in Newport Beach and the city took possession. I was the guy that removed the boat and cleaned it out. In the boat was a hidden safe and 25 netsuke figures plus a Cartier watch and some Rolex watches I have already sold for too dollars. The yacht was built custom at a cost of 7 million. You would think the owner would know real from fake. I have seen almost the same figures in some auction results and in books looking almost exactly the same carving is there some place I can send these to be looked at to get a final closure thanks for helping with this mystery

Thank you for your fast response. It’s hard to believe that this figure is not authentic. Could you look at one more of the figures from the same collection please. The boat that these came out of was worth multi millions. The owner of the safe was very well off. To have fakes just seems wrong. I have done the hot needle trick and no damage to the figure I have tried to find a appraisal person in the California area that knows netsuke but no luck so far your help has been very appreciated

I picked up this netsuke in a safe on a yacht owned by a famous person. Wondering if I could get more info on this figure? Who signed it? Age? Thanks in advance. I have 25 more figures from the same safe this one was in.

Hi, I have acquired a large collection of netsuke from a very rich persons personal assets. Wanting to know more about them.
