Found this on ebay but said they could not find the listing for some reason !!  Try the link and see if you can get it to load !!  The dog looks like a nice one !! Looks well done !!

Mart,

I was able to pull that up on Google Images but it is not him. The one on eBay is from 1971 by Art Gold a Jewish sculptor

he definitely lived in Gloucester later Birmingham and died in the 1980s? or 70s apparently made art deco pieces it weighs 12.5 pounds any one have any ideas on value although it a family piece that we intend to keep not sure were arthur was born it was around war time so he could have been from anywhere?
