A thin, flat, straight-edged (14) oval decorative metal item, with "stamped/hammered/etched"-? scenic illustration (looks Colonial). Medium is similar to pewter, but could be an experimental mixed metal. The metal is "glued" to a flat piece of probably cardboard, with green felt applied to bottom. Felt bears a small foil oval intact label:
Art Craft Products Co. Chicago Laquered Patent Pendiing.
I am aware of the controversy regarding the oil paintings signed by G. WhiTman and that they were mass produced and sold around the world but I am not finding a clear answer on whether there were any authentic paintings by this artist and if there are, is there any value to them?
I have a very beautiful oil painting signed by G. WhiTman that I am not able to find online. Most of them mention a cabin, which this does not have.
I am wondering if you could tell me anything about this piece. It measures 3 feet x 2 feet
