This is an example of a lower end carnival prize from the 1930s, it has damage to the ear and tail. While an older mold, it is not uncommon and value is going to depend on condition and how well it is painted (my zombie green dog not being a great example). The identification of this German Shepherd as Rin Tin Tin is based on some examples being inscribed with that name on the base, although most are not.
Value: $40 for a nice example, $20 if less attractive or significantly damaged

Most depictions of Rin Tin Tin use a similar pose, sometimes embellished with 'jeweled' eyes. Other Rin Tin Tin items include a lamp showing the dog leaping a fence made by Florentine Lamps. Many other items were also made such a plush tots by Ideal Toy Co.
