<p>The Turner Manufacturing Company were at one time the largest producer of low cost Decorative Art and mirrors, which was sold in department stores and &quot;Five &amp; Dimes&quot;. They were based in Chicaco and went out of business by about 1975. All of their art work was mass produced and still exists in large numbers, so values tend to be quite modest for their pieces in the current market. Most prints and artwork by them sell for less than $60.00.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>

I have some &#39;worn&#39; prints/paintings, not sure which...  that I got at a garage sale for a buck a piece a few years ago.  All 4 are Turner Mfg Co, Chicago Il, gold foil w/black writing.  I can&#39;t find any info on these prints on the web, 3 from Maurice Utrillo and 1 Reginald O. Massie, parrisian scenery and 1 buggie scene.  They are very nice, but like I said kind of worn...  Let me know if you find any info on these prints/paintings from Turner Mfg Co.  I&#39;d like to know a little about them.  I&#39;m not sure what I plan to do with them.

<p>There is not much to tell about them really, the company made inexpensive prints of a variety of old Masters and Modern art for low cost decorating. They will never be collector&#39;s items, or likely even gain much in value as they were mass produced items. Damaged or worn examples by the company are difficult to sell, and often sell as part of box lots.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>
