The owner received a tile from the White House renovation under Truman from a friend who worked on the renovation.  The owner placed the tile in the top of an antique table, which can be easily popped out of the top of the table.  Notes about where the item came from, including dates, were written by the owner on the back of the tile.  I am looking for an appraisal of both the table and tile.  It will be for sale locally at an estate sale beginning Friday, Aug. 19.  The tile was a surprise and was found as I was cleaning the piece.  I don't have any reason to doubt the authenticity as I have found numerous notes on items kept meticulously by the owners over the years.  There were no maker's mark on the table.

This was a thrift store or yard sale purchase about 15 years ago.  I don't remember the price.

I've plugged it in and the tempurature topped 380 degrees, after that my thermometer just reads Hi.  It does seem to stay between 350 and 378.  I went back and checked it a few times.

I love it and think it is beautiful because of the era.  I bought it to use as a novelty door stop to my sewing room.  But have had it in storage about 15 years.

 Little girl figurine is about 5 1/2" tall.  She has a red hood tied on the right hand side under chin and has a whitesh green overlay over a red dress. She is holding a white milk can in one arm and a cup in the other.  She has black boots and a white kitten on her left hand side by her feet.  On the bottom is marked Friedel Bavaria Made in Western Germany Hand Painted in Green.  No other marks I can see.  She has a stress fracture on her lower leg over to cats lower face.  Not broken just a stress crack I would say it was.

 I have a 5 1/2" figure of a little boy that looks like a Hummel. But not marked Hummel. He has a black top hat on and a ladder under his left arm  I think its a rope over and around his right arm which is raised holding his hat.  Its marked in green on the bottom Friedel Bavaria Made in Western Germany Hand Painted.  No marks that I can see or signatures.
