As an aside, I might be more inclined to list them on ebay.com. You might get a result there

Hi Frank,

The only thing I found out, was a dressing down, of sorts, from Stephen from Nazeing who said that the last one was made last year as a Christmas gift and sold through their shop, and it was neither Art Deco or Shakespeare's House as I was led to believe.

As for the other two I have no idea, but seeing as the last one was wrongly sold and described, I really don't want to re-list them, as I can't say who made them, when or even now which house they may or may not be. A lesson well learnt, don't believe ANYTHING you are told especially at an Antique Fair  ;), unless you are nearly certain it maybe, and its not too expensive (they were £30.00 down the drain!)

They will go in my "odds & sods" box for auction, unless someone else can shed any light on them.

Barbara

Hi Glen,

I am glad that at least one was not made yesterday, but still smarting a bit about the tall story, as she said that they had belonged to her mother who bought them in the 1920's!!


Frank,

Let me know what views of the desirable properties you would like and I will get the camera out tomorrow and photograph them for you.
