Additional credits: Released as second Fine English Bone China Sculpture. Originally cost $7,300 through Another Rainbow and was limited to 100 pieces. In February 2001, Another Rainbow had a 'destruction event', where the unsold sculptures were destroyed, so there are less than 100 sculptures in existence now.
Also offered by Another Rainbow in a special package with Scrooge McDuck Midnight Egg for a total of $13,000.

Notes: Information on the destruction event comes from Rev. Ed Bergen, the President of the Carl Barks Fan Club, who attended the event.

The egg is 146 millimeters in height and was created using sterling silver, gold, enamel, and precious stones.
