William Manson Snr and Jr Signatures 1999 Perfume Bottle
« on: April 28, 2016, 05:23:34 AM »
Hi,
I have a perfume bottle that has the little card with it and it has both William Snr and Jr signature on it - does that mean they both worked on the bottle? The signature canes are WM, signed on the base William Manson.
Any information appreciated.
Mary

as no one has replied --- 
1999 was a time when Manson's was a family business located in Perth and William junior was learning the trade. . And at that time they would create output together and separately so your item is of the correct era to have had both Sr and Jr working on it

Hi Mary
As Michael says William Manson Jnr learned how to make paperweights whilst at the family business in Perth and produced some excellent paperweights - but sadly does not seem to make any more these days. William Jnr did have his own WM signature cane and here is a picture so you can see how it looks compared with his father's

Thank-you very much for your replies Martin and Dave (sorry I'm slow in responding) - so it is possible that both worked on it!
That is a great photo of both signature canes Dave!
cheers
