Frank:
The cristallerie in Verdun was set-up in 1930, by Maurice Model, in an old flooring factory. Glass was produced for export only and mostly to USA. The factory was destroyed by bombs on 15th June 1940. A school was built on it's site and the directrice of the school is now researching. I shall point her to the thread.

Ohio:
Thanks Frank for posting this information. I now know who made these birds thanks to your work. Most appreciated. Ken

Frank:
Might be worth contacting local museum as they now include Model and give a c1930-1940 date. http://www.verdun.fr/Vie-quotidienne/Culture-Sport-Loisirs/Musee-de-la-Princerie/Nouvelles-acquisitions/Du-Verre-Art-Deco-au-Musee

Ohio:
Frank your work is much appreciated. Thanks for the link...its alot more confirmed info than I've seen on his operation & it brings to light the fact that his production was far more extensive than I believed. It was certainly not a Mom & Pop operation. Ken

Frank:
A school was built on top of the site and the head teacher is researching the glassworks.
