This RCA Victor Nipper Dog statue was a store display for RCA retailers only. The popular image of Nipper the dog tilting his head while listening to a phonograph, was used to promote the RCA company for years.According to RCA, the real Nipper was born in Bristol, England in 1884 and was named because of his tendency to nip the back of visitors legs. The dog was painted into an ad by the original owner’s brother, Francis Barraud, who noted how the dog would stare at the gramopho...ne whenever a record was played.
To the best of my knowledge, this piece was made between 1950-1960's. Very rare, collectible. I'm selling it for a great price
