Up for sale is a piece from famed female newspaper publisher Helen K. Copley's estate. I purchased a lot of items at auction from the Copley family estate which I am now listing here on eBay. This is a figurine that makes sense for a publisher. It's a cute cocker spaniel dog fetching a newspaper. It's 3" long and 1.75" tall--hand painted. It's in very nice condition with no chips, cracks or breaks. Helen K. Copley (1922-2004) took over the helm of her husband James S. Copley's San Diego newspaper empire with great success and ran it from 1973 until 2001. In the process she became one of the richest and most important women in America and was a giant presence in San Diego and Southern California. She was actually called "The Face of San Diego". When she died Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered the flag over the California state Capitol to half mast. Please Google "Helen K. Copley" and read her extensive obituary for her impressive lists of accomplishments and charitable deeds. It's a privilege to be able to offer a few of her items for sale.
