    Description

    When the West Hollywood Tower Records location shut its doors in 2006, employees who had worked there for some time were allowed to take some mementos. I bought this from a vendor who had done a lot of business with the iconic Sunset Strip record store and now I need the money more than I need the dog. His measurements are 13" x 13" x 6". I've looked for photos that would add to the provenance but haven't been able to locate any. I was told that the dog was perched on a shelf during its life there. Anyway, the only thing I'm sure of is that he's like a poor man's version of the RCA Victor mutt except instead of listening to the speaker of a victrola this pooch is wearing headphones.
