Always Another Rainbow Carl Barks figurine, 95/100, Pre-Owned :
$7000.00

Limited edition bone-china figurines with 22-carat gold in the nuggets, Scrooge's poke, rocks and bullets in the belt. Painted and assembled by hand, no two figures are entirely alike. The edition was limited to 100 pieces, all of which sold out quickly. However, in 2001, due to a licensing disagreement with Disney, any unsold figurines from this series were destroyed.

Inaugurating the series is Always Another Rainbow - the figure of a young Scrooge McDuck at the outset of his career on the Comstock Lode. Scrooge has not yet bought the frock coat and high, silk hat which in later life will mark him as a tycoon, but something in his gaze suggests he can see the day coming. Only his rain-sodden hat is droopy; McDuck himself strains ahead to future conquest. One hand clutches a pot of gold; strapped to his back is a rifle to protect it. Pick, canteen, and bedroll complete the young miner’s kit. He is ready for a new challenge, a fresh encounter, another rainbow. - Bruce Hamilton
