Totally Realistic Ceramic Alligator

Can you believe the creativity and true artistry exhibited with this piece?  What says a Cajun Ayeee louder than a ceramic alligator.  Our expert staff believes this was originally used to hold pens and pencils, or perhaps a tooth brush (assuming the previous owner had teeth).  So sorry we did not get a close up shot of this particular aspect on this item................YES it still has part of the original price tag on the back!  Get out of here you say.  Double down situation with this item.  It also has the second hand shop price tag on the bottom.  What's your best guess on what we paid for this piece and what its worth?  We are so so happy to have it in our collection.  So much so, we took this shot on top of our metal high security official Tacky Museum documents and artifacts briefcase, with a file folder in the background so as to display this in a more natural office setting.   ENJOY!!!!!
