<p>[QUOTE="Mungo, post: 571165, member: 10050"]Pick from an estate sale this morning. These were advertised as Bruno Merli "Capodimonte". They do indeed say 'Bruno' on the front, and they do looks kindof capo-ish, so I thought nothing of it. But after getting home and getting on the google machine, I cannot find any Bruno Merli figurines signed in any fashion except a 'B Merli' impression. So I'm stuck now trying to figure out exactly what these things are. The only copy I can find of one of these is an ebay listing and the guy seems as clueless as I am. </p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Capodimonte-Or-Alike-BRUNO-IN-GOLD-CERAMIC-OLD-MAN-PLAYING-CELLO-antique-vintage/254167806579" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Capodimonte-Or-Alike-BRUNO-IN-GOLD-CERAMIC-OLD-MAN-PLAYING-CELLO-antique-vintage/254167806579" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Capodimonte-Or-Alike-BRUNO-IN-GOLD-CERAMIC-OLD-MAN-PLAYING-CELLO-antique-vintage/254167806579</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So I'm stuck looking for "Bruno" marks and this ghost of a foil tag on the bottom of one of my figurines.
