U.S. BIDDER'S ONLY!!! I HAVE FOR AUCTION A VERY RARE ERNEST TUBB CHALKWARE STATUE BY HARRY WRIGHT OF KENTUCKY WITH NO RESERVE!!!! THE STATUE IS IN ESTATE FOUND CONDITION AND THE HEAD HAS BEEN TASTEFULLY GLUED BACK ON OR AT LEAST IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN GLUED OR REPAIRED? THE STATUE IS SIGNED AT BOTTOM AND READS COPYRIGHT BY HARRY WRIGHT R41 CAVE CITY KY 42127 AND THE FRONT BOTTOM READS ERNEST TUBB THE TEXAS TROUBADOUR AND THE STATUE MEASURES ABOUT 7" TALL AND HAS A FELT BOTTOM THAT SHOWS WEAR AND SOME PIN HOLES CONSISTENT WITH AGE. THE STATUE IS MADE OF CHALKWARE AND HAS A LITTLE GLITTER HERE AND THERE AND APPEARS TO HAVE THAT SPRAY PAINTED TYPE COLORING LIKE MOST CHALKWARE. THE HEAD OR FACE IS VERY DETAILED AND THE GUITAR AND HIS WESTERN TYPE SUIT AND BOOTS AND HAT ARE ALSO VERY DETAILED. I DID NOT EVEN NOTICE THE HARLINE CRACK AROUND HIS NECK UNTIL EXTREMELY CLOSE INSPECTION AND THERE IS ONLY A MINOR CHIP ON THE FINISH BEHIND HIS NECK AND I PROBALY WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICED THE REPAIR IF IT WHERE NOT FOR THE LITTLE UNNOTICABLE CHIP. OVERALL I THINK THE RARIETY OF THE PIECE MAKES UP FOR THE MINOR FLAWS!!! I WILL ALSO MENTION I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE STATUE WAS STORED OR CAME FROM AND THE HOUSE DID SMELL OF CIGARETTE SMOKE AND POSSIBLY PETS AS WELL. I DO NOT SMELL ANYTHING WEIRD OR NOTICABLE ON THE STATUE AND IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE
