My grandfather was an Optician in BelAir, Maryland. (He passed away around 1948 at a very young age). This boy with spectacles was placed next to another young boy, a tall piece wearing very dapper clothes and spectacles as well, in the front window of his storefront.

This piece is a Heubach painted porcelain bisque . The young boy is smoking a cigar or stogy. He has wonderful eyes that seem to follow one around the room!

He is in excellent condition (note detail on his collar) but it is possible the color of his hat is a tiny bit faded but I am not sure.

 I found this info concerning the mark...

"Occasionally in the world of antiques, you may come across a mark, DEP, which could mean either Depose or Deponiert. This mark is commonly found on German or French bisque dolls, celluloid,  porcelain, jewelry, glass or metal goods. Dep stands for the German word Deponiert which means registered, or copyright. some of the most common words that are found or may be found on French or German antiques and vintage collectibles."



 

 It was my grandmothers abd believe that it is over 50 yrs old. it has 6 large drawers and 6 smaller drawers all outlined in gold trim, the mirror attaches to the back of the dresser also outlined in gold trim.

this item was found about 17yrs ago we believe its a native american spoon

I do not know much about the Buddha.  I know it's over 100+ years old.  It weighs 66 pounds and I believe it's made out of copper.  Originally purchased from Berma 20+ years ago. 

the panes look like stained glass,they look to me to be painted between glass,

 with a lead cane frame, the pane with the jesus figure is a bit heavier, the glass is thicker and has waves in it , it seems to be put together better of the two. the pane with the angel has smooth glass , image is more clear, not as thick as the other.   i would like to know what they are reffered to as, and of course what their value may be ,if any, they are a friends, dont know history .  thank you

 looking to find what it is worth, and who is on the piece, 24k gold plated im guessing victorian era necklace? thank you
