Flying Pig #3: Main Auction Galleries

I have to admit, finding the name for this pig was kind of fun.

I snapped this outside an auction house near my office. Tonight, when I googled "auction house on 4th street," I found a page about Main Auction Galleries-- and their chief auctioneer's last name is Karp. Whiiiiich might explain why the back half of this pig is a fish.

So I hunted for "Big Pig Gig" and "Karp," and ended up with "J. Karp Hogtioneer." Bingo.

On this quest, I also found an Artworks page that lists pigs still on public display in Cincinnati. That ought to help out substantially in the future, yes?

See our other piggies here!
