Found a history of the Royal Machine Co. of Birmingham, England. Seems the company was formed c1868 and ceased operations in 1888. The competition...
Can't help you on the artist. The Europa Center is really that tall building in the middle of the print. It was completed, dedicated, in 1965. The...
The lower case "g" in that shape shield with that style flag dates it c1920-c1930. According to the following page, the flag and shield with lower...
The one Tallcakes found is surprising similar. The only real differences are the eyes, the height the umbrella is being carried and coloring. The...
I haven't any info for you either. Germany sounds like a good possibility. With the grape vines and the bearded chap, this appears to be a...

Book is quicker on editing than I. I came up with 3 edits of the original scan. At least 1 is similar to Book's. I still cann't say what the good...

A lovely banquet lamp with the Corinthian capital column mounted on a cast metal (I think cast metal) ornate plinth supported with scroll feet. Do...
