In the past 27 Antique Salon, a friend of mine dragged me to the third floor. There, in a галерейке he had last time trading statuette of Don Quixote, 80 centimeters tall. Over $ 5000. And then, there was no old or if the price is not struck a bargain, do not remember. At this time a brisk man greeted us with words - so I promised that I will do so for 5 $ and did. I have a friend ask - What does it mean? Molded or what? - No he told me, in a sense got. For a long time to show us inside some marks (the statue was empty), then showed bust Tolstoy, saying it is worth $ 500 because they, too, before the revolution of the casting, then showed bust Dostoevsky for $ 50 with the words of a modern cast.

prerevolutionary Don Quixote, I would take today for $ 500, and that surely he, and so modern, and vparivayut you like the old one.
Prohindeya friend calls and says, pointing at me - That friend says that he (I have that is) have an acquaintance that exactly the same otolet $ 500 and can not tell. Smart aleck rolled us a lecture about the factory which has closed down (somewhere in the Urals), and that these statuettes of his museum, and that the old form with which they were cast, were also in this museum, but the former owner drove them some kind of lover in the UAE (why there?). And now if you do the same after the removal of his form, he (Don Quixote) will be smaller and still a fine work did not succeed. Another ten minutes telling me about the differences of the old cast iron from the new. Several times I tried to stop the story, saying it was a joke and did not need me to say this, but had to listen to the end. The result was that one can hardly make a copy.
We went for a walk through the cabin, and I have stopped thinking about Don Quixote - as this connoisseur and merchant casting, overtook me and asked for telefonchik master.
