I have seen Eton before, but never one that had initials. I am not sure if I am reading the initials right. There is a dime size chip on the inside side top of the vase, but other than that in pretty decent shape with no toher cracks or chips.
I really do not know anything about these dolls. The heads, hands and feet seem to be metal, but the bodies are soft. It almost sounds like they are stuffed with paper. I can't make out the signature which is on the shoes of both dolls. The heads can be lifted up somewhat and a metal rod is attached. Any help would be appreciated.
This item may have been purchased in another country but I am not sure and there is nobody in my family to ask that would know since they are all deceased. My mother always told me it was a watch fob...The entire thing is silver in color with very detailed swag chains. Upon looking at the glass or crystal looking prism, it appears that there is a blue dot on the point in the center and a red ring inside. When turned over, the opposite is true (the dot on the center point is red and the ring is blue.) The only kind of markings that I was able to see is on a ring near the end and it says "PUR PRIMA GARANTIE"
To my surprise, I saw this item on the television show "Storage Wars" several months back and it looks exactly the same but the one on the episode was a necklace...otherwise everything else was identical. Unfortunately there was no information given that tells me anything about this item, what exactly it is, how old it is, where it is from, etc. and I have been searching the internet for information on it for the past 15 years or so! Can anyone please help???
It has some signs of use and the neck ring is missing, but it is in overall great shape. The body is made of one solid piece of wood. I do not know much else about it. A rough guess on the date I would say 40s-50s. It is deffinately hand carved.
