I need help locating a monkey cop statue.let me explain my mom when she was younger bought her dad a monkey cups statue because he was one a cop, not a monkey (smartass).it's a monkey dressed as a cop with a motorcycle, now before anyone ask I've already checked eBay and Amazon multiple times. I have literally been looking for this for decades now I need people to look at yard sales second hand stores Goodwill stores what have you. anyone who locates 1, please let me know as soon as possible.

by the way I don't have a picture sadly when my grandpa died people ransacked his house and took the statue for whatever reason but I broke my mom's heart to lose it I would like to replace it hopefully for her birthday in January but I just want to replace it no matter what. so if you locate said statue. let me know where you saw it & the price. thank you for your time.

I do not have a picture anywhere of it. It was long before digital and back then film was expensive so no one took a picture of a statue like that.

I just browsed their site. Didn't look great. I thought they had more stuff for sale besides t-shirts etc.
Now I'm on a mission.

Sorry, no figurines. When Google can't find it for me, you know it's gotta' be pretty obsolete. I wonder if @jaizei would have any luck

If anyone can find me a photo I am a thrift junkie. I go twice a week to stock my vintage store.

About how tall was it? Was it solid or hollow?

it was solid and it was about 12 inches maybe 16 inches high, I have no knowledge of any picture of it anywhere by anyone unfortunately I've done Google search after Google search nothing. it was from the late sixties so I have no idea.

Are you sure it's a monkey and not an ugly man? Or maybe it's a CHiMP?
Is the monkey riding the motorcycle or beside it?
Colors?
