    Any ideas on this one as to maker of this vintage piece? Or maybe homemade? Thanks.

    Amateur art; possibly school art project. Doubt you will I.d. the artist unless you can backtrack previous owners or find other pieces with identical signature. The fact that it was signed with an electric engraver probably “says something.” :grumpy:

    Yes, agree this is 100% 1970s. Just thought odd with the "Jens" plaque --figured I might find others, but so far nothing. Maybe is a homemade item.

    Thanks for taking a look, Komokwa. My photo above wasn't well lit. Here is better. In the hand I think "Jens" (not totally sure about the first initial) but I'll take a quick look around for the other names. Thanks!
