    Description

    I'm offering one of my top ten memories of my life with this one !  I was fortunate to live in the Florida Keys in 1960 (lost our house to Hurricane Donna on that one), 1963, and 1964, with a few months in '62.  That's when we stayed at a place called "Ribble's Cottages" in Marathon ............ and guess who was trained right in front of our cottage !!  Yep, Mitzie, who was "Flipper" most of the time.  She was a total delight and would come to me when I called.  She was trained in a large lagoon there, with two other dolphins.  They were SO beautiful!  My little figurine has a glazed factory flaw on the top fin and a small chip on the tail.  She is beautifully rendered rising from the ocean waves.  She measures 4.25" by 6".  I hope she goes to someone who will love her as I have.
