<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 209990, member: 308&quot;]Hi rhiwfield - I relied on Wikipedia for that bit.&nbsp; According to the article that addition of &quot;Made in&quot; dates a German piece to the 1890-1914 time frame.&nbsp; The Wikipedia article is short but contains helpful information regarding fairings. For German fairings it focuses mostly on Conte and Boehme but I don&#039;t think this is one of theirs so the date could be earlier.&nbsp; I would put these bears to the earlier part of the 1890-1914 time frame.&nbsp; I&#039;ve handled a lot of fairings but don&#039;t really consider myself an expert.&nbsp; Still I have never seen this particular stamp. </p><p><br /></p><p>In researching I did come across an Under the Old Apple Tree version with pigs.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t help much as far as this discussion but thought it was interesting.&nbsp; The letters on the pig version were also incised.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
