Another interesting mystery attic find offered up for auction.       this was discovered whilst clearing some effects and I know very little about it?    its certainly old and definitely intriguing!    its made from an unknown metal and it only measures 6" so I suppose you would call it a miniature.    it depicts the group of animals in the rowing boat but I am not certain what they are?     it was suggested they are cats but I think they look more like bears?    four are doing the hard work rowing and the other one is the cox as you see in the boat race!     the miniature animals are full of charm and it would be great to know their history (  any info would be much appreciated).
