What does this mean?

Good afternoon, Chris,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I've still not found any auction sales of Craig's works so have valued this conservatively in view of the current market for contemporary folk art sculpture.
Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A carved and painted folk art sculptural group
"The Uptown Bar" by A.J. Craig
mid 20th Century
signed back right
8 inches high by 22 inches wide by 12 inches deep
$300-500

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.
