[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 276782, member: 136"]Well, the stickers on the backs of your pictures indicate where they were [U]framed[/U], and very possibly purchased. They say nothing about the artist him/herself. Fleck Brothers was an art/framing shop at 9 W 20th St in New York City, owned and operated by Walter and Henry Fleck[I].[/I] A brief synopsis I found online says: [I]Offers Wide Variety of Smaller Scale Graphics Fleck Bros., piloted for over 30 years by Walter and Henry Fleck, ... With complete facilities to fit, mat and frame all prints sold and very large inventory[/I] from: [I]Furniture World and Furniture Buyer and Decorator[/I], Volume 181, Issue 25, Towse Publishing Company, 1973 via Google Books: [URL]https://books.google.com/books?id=kpjlAAAAMAAJ&q=henry+fleck+fleck+brothers+framing&dq=henry+fleck+fleck+brothers+framing&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiuurGggpXWAhWKZiYKHdh3BK0Q6AEIOzAE[/URL] They were apparently in business from the 1940's at least into the early to mid 1970's. Again, that's the [I]framing[/I], and maybe the place of purchase. Are these prints? Are there artist's signatures on them? Most of the Fleck Brothers prints I found online weren't selling for much, but if yours can be further identified, there [I][U]may[/U][/I] be a bit more value there.[/QUOTE]
