What is the significance behind these foxes ?
I have seen them before , but never knew why or what they were made for.

Designed by artist Alexander Sturm . . . yes that Sturm, the guy who financed the creation of the Sturm, Ruger Company and designed the original "eagle" trademark.
Problem Fox was also the title of a children's book written and illustrated by Sturm, which may be what is referred to above. The little statuette represents the book's subject character.

First one I've seen for sale in a LONG time
Somehow I don't think this made the RENE list! 
Anyone ever seen one for sale in recent memory and care to say what it sold for. I realize that may be an improper question but this is such a curiosity. Just thought I'd ask.

Went for $1125.00.
Interesting.

Yes, interesting indeed. I figured it would either stay in the low $1000s or be mid to high $2000s.
Evidently not enough people with any interest in them. Although I would guess that current events are weighing heavily on current spending.
They sure are cool...

Maybe Radical has " bookends" now. 
My bet is it went where most all of the others reside - the upper Western US.

Mystery solved.
KUDOS on getting it. Miss Penny wants one,, and gave it some thought. But she felt is wasn't what she wanted to spend on one.
Glad it went to a good home!
