United states, July 16th 1885-- patent date Feb 1879. Patented six inch statue with its tin one inch base from 1885. This is the American Committee Model that was produced and sold to produce funds for the base of the statue of liberty.  it originally sold for one dollar, and was made in two pieces.  this is one of my finest pieces to represent the statues history.  This statue has the tin base, and weighs in at 5.7 oz.  The underside of the tin base has a round hole to attach to the bottom half of the statue.  It comes apart in the center, and the tin base is a little rusty, but very clear.
