<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4427559, member: 1476"]Thought it might be Catalonian and... I'm right. Signed -- to my eye -- Xar Ca Tó and next to that -- and this is clearer -- Gerona. Gerona is Spanish for the city of Girona which means it likely dates to sometime in the Franco era (1939-1975) when the Catalan language was banned. Looks to be inspired by Picasso (he spent his formative years in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia) and probably an artistic souvenir from the start of mass tourism in the 1960s-1970s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
