Several years ago my husband started to collect chinese mudmen. They are all marked, some with names that are hard to make out & some that just have China etched in the mud. He could have sold them many times over but hung on to them. Some were worth hundreds. But when any thing is selling good , here comes reproductions, tons of them from China and the prices plummeted. There was some at an auction just last weekend & sold for a dollar. But maybe someone out there know’s different and can help you. Good Day!
