<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 10257506, member: 51&quot;]These Austin Production items are most often made with a material more like plaster.&nbsp; There might be certain ones that were metal, but the bulk are made with a plaster-like material, often made to look like cast metal, and pretty sure this one is made of plaster.&nbsp; If any chips, you will see white.</p><p><br /></p><p>The company was prolific! Right now on Ebay (just checked) there are 1,600 Austin Productions pieces for sale, and so many different versions. Most don&#039;t sell well, but a certain few bring in money, especially the modernist style, if you check Ebay sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think they were based in New York city, maybe started in the 1950s, but produced for years and years.&nbsp; Some of them are actually kind of well done where I&#039;ve taken a second look, but in the end when I see the &quot;Austin Prod&quot; mark I almost always take a pass for any kind of resale because they are brutally heavy and somewhat fragile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
