<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sam haft, post: 4303953, member: 23139&quot;]i don&#039;t believe my last reply posted correctly - so im trying again. sorry, new to the forum, learning the ropes. and appreciate everyone&#039;s feedback. did not mean to hold any info back -- my goal is to share what i can and see if anyone can help me determine if these might have a neat origin story. my folks own the urns. bought at an estate sale in NJ (they don&#039;t recall exact year, but early 1990s). the urns remained outside at the entrance of their home in NJ for 20+ years. they did not live near the shore (about 45 mins away). when they relocated to southern florida they transported the urns despite the weight and cost bc they really loved them. they&#039;ve been in FL for about 15 yrs. one was inside their garage and the other was in the backyard underneath an extended porch which protected it from the rain. my folks are downsizing and while i would normally just include these w/ other furniture being consigned thru a store, i was intrigued when taking a closer look after all these years while photographing and thought perhaps there was a unique story here. the images seemed symbolic to me - i just am not sure symbolic of what? so i thought this group might be able to assist given ur extensive knowledge. im going to their home today to do the magnet test one person on the thread suggested to confirm if i can the type of material they are made of. i honestly do not know, could only go by what they were told at the estate sale which was they were made of cast iron and antique believed from the Victorian era but no paperwork to state that. my folks bought bc of how regal and beautiful they were. im just curious now, as i hope to find them a great new home, to understand better where/when they may have come from. Appreciate any further assistance. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
