A guide for this piece: about $114, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Burger Buddy, Vintage Edition, by the Brooklyn artist Wizard Skull: his notorious Sexy Ronald, a muscled clown perched on a double burger, reissued in faded, sun-worn colours and limited to 100 pieces worldwide. Unused, with its art card.
The Piece
Wizard Skull has made a career of pushing American fast-food icons into cheerful, slightly scandalous pop sculpture, and Sexy Ronald is his signature. Here the clown sits astride a towering burger of sesame bun, lettuce, cheese and patties, red curls piled high, white greasepaint grin, striped socks and big red shoes, wearing nothing but stars-and-stripes briefs.
For the Vintage Edition the artist changed the pattern of the briefs and lowered the whole palette, so the figure looks as if it has stood for decades in a diner window. It is the kind of piece that starts a conversation in any room, made in a run small enough that most collectors will never see one in person.
