JACK RUSSELL or "THE FIRST RAT" The true title is THE FIRST RAT. I made this very early in my career. It was modelled from a famous rat catcher. When I had finished it in wax, the owner's face dropped. What had I done wrong? "There wouldn't be a second in his seeing the rat and getting it," he explained. I suggested we called it "The First Rat" and this was accepted. I sold a lot of them when I was at the Game Fair and Agricultural Shows and produced a flop-eared version as well. I have very few left, all in resin bronze. If you are interested in a bronze edition please contact me on the Contact page.
