This item is first quality, has very nice detail, and in good condition excepting a bit of a bow in the middle, and a modest bit of wear. The date is circa 1912. This item measures (in inches): 5.5 tall X 1.2 wide X 1.6 deep; the weight is 8 Oz.

(The actual Lincoln Imp is located high on a pillar in the Angel Choir in Lincoln Cathedral. Legend goes that Satan sent the imp to Lincoln Cathedral to cause trouble. The imp was destroying the Angel Choir when an angel appeared but the imp jumped up onto a pillar and started throwing rocks at the angel. The angel then turned the imp to stone as he is today.)
