I've come across one locally and am not interested myself, but if you
are, please drop me a line. I'm near SF.
What's the value range for these nowadays?

BlankGreetings and Happy New Year 2010,
Bill Hodges had an inquiry regarding a Nipper item he is listing on
e-bay. With the help of my Nipper friend, we solved the mystery of
what the Nipper item is. The item is listed on e-bay (item 300383123497
)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300383123497&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
It is a dog and gramophone figure and my Nipper friend, Barbara
Regan solved the mystery of what it is.
The item is the top of the radio on page 3-90 of our Nipper
Collectibles book.
The only reason she knew that it was the top piece of the radio is
because she has the whole radio. Actually, it's in 3 pieces. The
top piece is the dog and gramophone on the red vinyl, the second
piece is an insert which is a little red fabric-covered dish that
you could put coins or other small items in and the bottom is where
the actual parts of the transistor radio are. She didn't think
anyone would realize it unless they actually owned the piece. She
just thought the dog and gramophone on red looked familiar and
finally found the radio. Bill wrote us in regard to the item and we
did not recognize the item, but thanks to Barbara the Nipper mystery
is solved.
I am sure Bill will be changing the description of the item on e-bay
to inform buyers of what the item actually is.
Happy New Year, Happy Nipper Collecting, and looking forward to
Orlando and a great time with phono friends.
