6. But do you really know that there are bones in this one?

"Can't you feel its bones?" wouldn't be enough for me to assume there were bones and not some kind of metal framework in there--maybe to make it strong enough for a child to sit on?

I'm not a collector, only a watcher of Antiques Roadshow, and I think the goat pictured is adorable. If I wanted it, and I had $400 to spend I'd buy it. As a normal lay person, I don't think $400 is such a bad deal.

It's not a bad retail price. It's a skin on a taxidermist form. It's a very nice decorator item. marble falls Dec 2022 #4
