Title: Favorite Piece Post by: THE RUMPH Webmaster on February 09, 2008, 01:17:43 AM What is your favorite Rumph piece in your collection right now? Does it ever change?

Title: Re: Favorite Piece Post by: THE RUMPH Webmaster on February 28, 2008, 11:01:22 PM Mine is probably the Beastly Bar because of the size, uniqueness, and detail. Although whenever I get a new rare one, that is my favorite for awhile. I recently got a Zunill, so she's got my eye now.

She is the nude young lady sitting with a skull between her legs with the bowl coming up from the skull. Any new piece to the collection that isn't the ones seen all of the tiimes are favorites. ;) Geezer

I always remember it sitting on his dresser when I was growing up. He passed away 2 years ago from lung cancer and it's one of the things that remind me of him the most.

Jim had given me, to my shock, (one night while lubed up) a Zunill Sphinx he had laying around with a firing crack. I loved his Zunill works. Even at the time, the Sphinx was one of his most expensive pieces and took a lot of work to create on his part. (I did feel a little guilty.) Later, Jim asked if he might have it back as he had a paying customer for it, and said he’d make me a new one. (As an artist you’d sell whatever you could; I understood this and had no problem releasing it.) I also knew I’d never get the replacement. Easy come easy go.

Although whenever I get a new rare one, that is my favorite for awhile. I recently got a Zunill, so she's got my eye now. I have a beastly bar (I think) it is about 31/2 feet tall, has 2 shelves, an ogre at the upper center surrounded by a wizard and a princess, says RUMPH in the center. My mom and dad had it in their gift shop in San Simeon ca. in 1982. price on it at that time was over $250.00. I am trying to find out what it is worth now. Any info you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Title: Re: Favorite Piece Post by: gumball on July 31, 2017, 10:23:53 AM Recently I acquired two pieces and I'm not sure which I love more.
One is an Isaac Asimov tankard without handle. The man never looked better. Rare as all get out. The other is a likely one off piece. It is a bust copied from the lifemask of the artist William Blake. I've supplied the site here with photos, or you can see it on my site, www.rumphcollector.com (http://www.rumphcollector.com) Title: Re: Favorite Piece Post by: samshousevip on August 05, 2019, 06:59:18 PM Not that it's my 1st Rumph piece bought but because of the rarity the Fiddler is my favorite piece. Once I get a Beastly Bookshelf then that will take over as my favorite just because of the size of it. There's a few that come close but IMO 1973 The Sphinx would be my Ultimate favorite w/ nothing surpassing it.
Title: Re: Favorite Piece Post by: odin on December 27, 2019, 07:33:08 PM My favorite piece is the Scrooge tankard. Ive got 2 of them. Both from ebay. One was sold by the 'rumph estate'. How long ago was that?...2015 or 2016? I have not seen a scrooge mug on ebay since then. This site rates the scrooge mug a '4 star' on the rarity spectrum: 'probably fewer than 25 remain'. One is signed by rumph on the side. The other is not signed.
