Johnny, These are very 30s and I like them better than many I have seen. I don't know if you noticed or not but the color in the decoration is...
I know these often come in much larger sets but these were the only three available. I found another similar set of just three with these same...
Went to the local auction Friday night and only bought one thing. There were some Chicago dealers in attendance and things were going for about...
I would try lacquer thinner to get the mark out.
Hard saying what the K. M. is for. Seems a bit disembodied from the rest to be in context. I am finding a few artists with the name, Baranov,...
I wonder if it might be Alf Whiihaus. I think that is a possible surname.
Right .... 6 years apart. Not sure how I got 4. I also see that the N in JAN is not necessarily a cap. I don't really know what to think. It...

Looks like they could be but maybe not quite as proficient as the one in the link. the handwriting on the dates vs. his signature looks different....
It is a combination of lack of time and lack of interest in certain things. While I do check in here regularly, I only have so much time in a day...
Great buy on that slot machine. I rarely see any of that vintage go for less than $350.00 in any condition. I probably would not have looked...
Thanks, Haven't found any exactly like them but have found some similar ones. Just found that the UL sticker is marked Imperialites so will have...
Will do. My fan has some age to it with tarnished rivets and faux graining on the handle. I was thinking more like 20s-30s than turn of the...
Here are several similar things with labels for V. Nason, Murano....
I sometimes see things made with this black base glass and always figured them to be Italian/Murano. The ashtrays do have a groove so don't...
Thanks! The thrift stores around here are amazingly good for picking. The one with stuff for a quarter is in a small town nearby. They keep...
