You do not have to find the same exact one !!  These and other fish curios were made by companies nationwide !!  They were popular late 60`s and 70`s !!  They went out of style the same way the owls did and never came back !!  Thank heavens !! Just find a similar form and go by that for selling price !!  Found nothing that matches that F !!

I like the detail and it’s not a modern one.

Ipcress it's not,it's an older one,the  item came from an estate of very older items.A lot  was from early 1900's and older.Inside is not painted,the painted eyes look like glass eyes but there are not glass.Very detailed.
