well thanks for the help from all of you. my mother has a huge collection of norman rockwell figurines, planters,and furniture.everythin g she owns was handed down from her parents and great grand parents,needless to say she's a little behind on the times,buts thats ok, these things made her happy,as im sure as your parents.this particular piece was bought well before my time and im 38 so i guess it was already an antique when it was purchased.anyways im a steel worker so my heavy hands shouldnt be on it anyways i can break it just looking at it lol.i'll just put it back with the rest. im by no means hurting financially,it would just be nice to know a little history on some of these.i could never part with these and likely to say my children,and grand children will be doing the same thing im trying to do.guess thats why they call em antiques huh.

i was reading an article where they would pay women to come up with designs and art work, for the artist. the antique store where it was purchased from is local but is no longer in business., go figure.

this is a planter that was made some time ago by newcomb college i know this because of the stamp that i verified, also by the puchase receipt stuffed inside. this belonged to my mother this as well as many others she haves. i just dont know where one would go to have it appraised. im 38 years of age and i know this is older than me. someone please help me identify this so i know roughly what its worth thanks.
