Victor

Nipper the dog (1884-1895) was a symbol of many early voice recording brands, based on the classic painting "His Master's Voice". One of these brands was "RCA Victor" phonograph company.

There are a number of chalkware versions of Nipper including several marked with the Victor brand. Smaller ones like the one in my collection (below) were used as promotional items. Approximate value $20.
