<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 12998246, member: 5833"]Giving this a bump because of the jet bear posted today & because of the back & forth here about Chinse vs Zuni. I have a couple of very nice carvings of a lizard on a rock, both signed A LAMY/ZUNI. There are at least several other Lamys with first names that start with A, but think this one was Alvin. I came to learn from a seller with long experience that Lamy would buy these Chinese works at one of the big mineral shows & put his own name on them. But he blabbed about it in Zuni, so everyone knew about it. He did do some work of his own, but it was not nearly as good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
