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.
