Danbury Mint used to sell them for over $100. I might go 100 but not 500.Thats way too much. Danbury Mint did have a few other bulldog things for sell.
That's funny, I just looked it up in eBay before I realized you knew it already!
I remember them sending me brochures for it many years ago, because I bought a bulldog ornament from them. The ornament I have is from 2002 I think so it was probably from 2003-2005 time frame.
I did see one on Danbury mint only a week or two ago but It was different but had bullies but was not quite that dear (I think I did anyway) , that one really nice but a bit pricey
I must be going mad it was that one and it was on ebay and over $500
Yeah -- it is cool! I have three of the Bulldog ornaments from Danbury as gifts from my SIL and the tree was advertised in the box once... i think it was 2007 time frame and it was about 100
