[QUOTE="Marko, post: 10483588, member: 210"]I found these thrifting today. They are beautifully, professionally framed. I Google Lensed them, the Neptune one, I saw a few.

The Golden Dragon one is the big mystery- I am not seeing any like it on the internet. I did see reproduction cloth placemats with this image.

Questions: I know the designs varied through the ages... were different designs made by different companies during the same time periods? Or were they all made by Tiffany Publishing out of Norfolk like these two? Mine are dated 1965, I guess Viet Nam era. When did awarding them start? What makes a particular design more valuable? Is there a cataloging reference of these designs online somewhere? Thanks. [ATTACH=full]527317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]527318[/ATTACH] I paid $16 each for them...I know I paid quite a bit to have my uncle's professionally framed. Update: I found Tiffany Publishing online, and I contacted them asking if I could send a picture of my Golden Dragon certificate to them and get more info.
