I have this Guiseppe Armani figurine I believe to be Signs of Spring. It is fairly dusty but has a signature on it. Can you confirm this is authentic and what it's worth would be please

There are two of these--one is 15 inch, one is 19 inch:

Both have a different marking than yours does and a different base.
You may see if this group will help you validate it: www.thecollectionshop.com/
I have not used them in a while so I don't know if they still offer information or not. If not, they may know someone who can help you with the authentication process.
I know the "real" ones are quite valuable with people asking up to $1200 for them (part of this is because this piece was very fragile and many did not last so pristine ones became more valuable based on scarcity).
Do you have a box for it? When we sold these when I worked in Hallmark shops, we always reminded people the only way to keep value was to hold on to the original box.
Post back what you learn!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. This one is 19 3/4". Ithought it had a plaque but must have come off. No box with it and it has the name of a family trust written in pen onthe bottom of it.
I have found similar figurines but there must be several models but there must be some difference and the NB number is what states the model.
There are differences in size: 15" and 20"
This listing on eBay has the same number: NB13565.
The asking price is $750 + $90 shipping;
This particular listing has been listed for sale on eBay for 3 years, 2 months so I do not think there is much need in thinking it may be worth more money unless you present it to an auction that specializes in this type of item.
If you're thinking about selling and really want to sell then I would think about listing it for sale at less than $500, accepting best offer and if not sold in 3 months start lowering the price.
Several very good pictures will be necessary.
The official name is 'Sign of Spring' (even Replacements has this wrong) as they also have another figurine called 'Signs of Spring'.
This is a lovely piece , but really requires a professional . You could take your figure to a seller/appraiser or there are a few links online that could help - www.justanswer.com/
This is a nice figurine and there are many different Guiseppe Armani figurines for sale on eBay. Not the exact one you are asking about because the company makes so many of them. The asking price is low on these and they start selling them at 16 pounds all the way up to 150 pounds. If people are asking a very high price for these figurines it normally can indicate fraud or even money laundering. I would be very careful of extremely high prices when checking other prices online.
