[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 371940, member: 1331"]Got this plaster clock statue today with a signature on it that is a little hard to decipher. She's 61.5cm(24.2”) high and only 5.1Kg as she's thankfully hollow . Had nightmares about her being solid and weighing a ton but she's beautifully hollow cast. At the back is “depose” and “132” which as I understand it means the number 132 has been registered for this model. Not sure how to track down early registration numbers in France so if anybody can tell me please do so. There is also a signature above the “depose” lettering. It almost looks like “G.Vin.VanGough” but not sure. Could be the original sculptor of this model rather than the manufacturer. To find the manufacturer I suspect I'm going to have to track down the company who registered the number 132 in France. The clock is a no name special which fortunately works which is always a good thing when trying to re-sell this stuff. These seem to be from around circa 1900 but will defer to the experts. Any ideas as to the manufacturer and date??
