FOUND- 18" Plastic RCA Nipper Dog

Post by DEdison »

This is my first post here, but I'm a long-time collector who started in the 1970's. Due to a lack of space, I drifted away from collecting over the years. I now have ample space and have renewed my phonograph interests. I'm looking for an 18" plastic Nipper. I've contacted the Rolfs and Ron Haring, but they are out of stock.

Thanks,
Dennis

Good luck with your search. The 18" plastic Nipper is the perfect size to display with a machine. Many of those plastic Nippers have really poor features because the plastic was not properly prepped before the ears, collar, etc, were painted. It's an easy restoration so don't avoid ones with poor features. I'll walk you through the restoration or you can send it to me.

Jerry, thanks for the reply.

That is a beautiful job you did with your repaint! When I do get one, I will certainly be asking your advice for touch-up, assuming it needs it.
