This is an owl in a silver metal it might even be pewter? on the back it has scroll writing tawny owl by A R B or T I can't see it as it goes under the pin. I have it listed on EBAY but woould like to have an idea of value. thanks
I have not had this verified to be sure that this was owned by the Nobel Prize winner George H Hitchings or not. What I do know is that his address from Seattle was written on the inside and he had written his initials all over the inside of the book, even poked holes in one of the pages.
There is a strange symbol that he did have of the G and the H combined. He had written on the inside that the book was from the eighth grade. Actually it appears to be written "8 B Grade".
It is also written on the back of the book "Geo H Hitchings is A Reading". There are also numerous notes taken within the book.
This is my greatest prized possession but if it is worth it I am willing to sell it.
It is a full head Mickey Mouse head in latex I think. I have never seen another one and It sits on top of my polysterene head. I am not sure if its the older mickey face but his nose does appear longer.. I like to know its value if it has one and where or why it was made for what purpose. Its pretty good full head. no markings that I can see.
I think its murano glass, is reminds me of the old chemist red glass decanter sign. But the bottom is not so big and has white wide swirls thoroughout its body to the top and then has a thin swirl white stopper . The stopper is like when you pour ice cream from the ice cream dispenser its swirly and thin out at the top. I may be willing to sell it but i would much rather know its value and what it actually is.
