The History of RCA's Nipper!

Happened to stumble upon this Wikipedia entry for RCA's Nipper dog... an interesting read for all you historians!

While I don't consider myself a historian by any stretch of the imagination that was an interesting snippet of history. Thanks for sharing.

Freaky...

1) I'm in Bristol.
2) My mother is in Kingston-On-Thames and I know the Lloyds Bank.
3) My brother's Jack Russell is currently in a dog's hospital with breathing difficulties...
4) My bro has a pretty good system (Mission spealer based) and said dog knows it well. Audiophile dog - just like Nipper.
5) My amps are loaded with RCAs.

Let's hope that little Russell gets better.

Woof!

Very good find! Here is a picture of the Nipper mentioned in the article that resides in Baltimore. I have not been there in a while, but this one used to sit in front of the City Lights museum, a place dedicated to the history of the city of Balmer (local pronunciation). As I recall this Nipper used to sit a top the old RCA Building.
