“PROST VIENNA BRONZE”
MINIATURE LEPRECHAUN & POT-OF-GOLD
LBK390
Outstanding BERGMAN Austrian bronze miniature figure of a devilish LEPRECHAUN & his POT-OF-GOLD marked PROST on his hat! Oh how fanciful and devilish is this little fellow? A cold painted bronze (some normal paint loss as seen in images), with his pants pulled down, creating his famous POT-OF-GOLD! This gem squats just 2" tall. What a naughty fellow he is. Two coins on the edge of the base appear to be slightly bent. One has a small stress line associated to the bend. This item is signed PROST on the front of his hat and it appears that the faint impression of the Bergman foundry mark is on one coin guaranteed to be old and original!
