This vintage stegosaurus dinosaur model would make a fun decor accent on your office desk or in your man cave. The miniature dinosaur figurine is heavy enough to use as a paperweight and would make a sophisticated gift for the dinosaur enthusiast.

This small yellow duckling figurine is in very good vintage condition. The bottom of the piece has some rough spots and a flea bite around the firing hole. The piece is hand-signed "Lenci Italy" along with a circular symbol on the bottom. The bird also has a round paper Lenci seal.
