mn90403 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 This 'bust' is from the Advertising Club of New York. It was found on a beach in Santa Monica at over 1 foot in depth with my Equinox 800 I bought from Bill. It came in at a 38-39 (pot metal) and it weighs just over 1.9 lbs. These pictures were taken with water covering the statue where I found it on the beach. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAU? Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 That’s great, did you clean it up? What metal is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Unusual find. Congrats.. I wonder if there's a way to tell how old it is. Have you contacted the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Considering the environment where it was found and the fact that it's plated zinc I doubt it has been there very long. Plated zinc is basically a battery when exposed to salt water. Think zinc penny. This statuette is called an Andy. These things are given out like candy on halloween each year. There literally is no limit on the number of awards. It costs $1,500 per submission to enter and just about everybody in the advertising business makes at least one submission a year. The award system is set up as a non profit so your submission costs are considered a donation and are tax deductible in part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
