At the Portland expo show there was an aluminum white eagle statue. It sold quick. The vendor claimed the originals were made in both cast iron and aluminum. I always believed only the cast iron were original and the aluminum were a repop in the last 20 years or so. Does anyone know the history of the aluminum ones?
