Title: 23 or 53?
Post by: hosman321 on October 12, 2010, 12:57:31 am

I bought this hideous little thing at the Goodwill tonight. Really, it is hideous in person. Normally not my style but I looked on the bottom and thought it said 1923. Now that I look closer it appears to be 1953. Opinions? Ideas? Date? Does anybody recognize the name? Looks like valler? I don't even think they made stuff like this in the 1920's...or did they? Bought it to resell cause I got it so cheap. But if it's 50's I bet I won't make anything. :P
Also, is it a bud vase? And the gold parts/signature appear to be gold rather than gold colored paint.

The writing on the bottom probably has nothing to do with a date but more with a model number or style number.  Stlye of dress appears to be more 50ish to me.  I hope you make something on this as I never find anything at our Goodwills.

Yeah, could be a model number for all I know. It's probably worth the $2 I paid. If I sell it for $4, I'll double money money lol. It's just gonna bug me man!

Betting it is a model number as well.

Best of luck on your sale!
