Yeah, it is definitely decorative and nothinglike it out there that I am finding. When I see my Mom I will have to dig into the family tree. Thanks for your help.

This is extremely heavy. When I was a child, it fell on my back OUCH! I will try to take a pic and post it later. It is really intrigueing me now - I will have to ask my Mom about the family tree - I am beginning to wonder if I could find some answers there - maybe an employee of this company...odd that I can't find greater detail on Mr. Allan with his birthday, city of birth - and I am really dissapointed that you have to pay these .com companies for cencus info.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I will try your search engines listes. I believe it is bronze but could be cast iron? I will check the year when I get home today. It is molded like these bookends but the stand is attached to the back and it is early 1900's - I will try to upload a picture later on today - thanks again for your help - I appreciate it

I have an old bronze or copper molded picture with a stand attached. It is a woman using a spindle by the fireplace in the kitchen - it is dated and has the manufacturer engraved (can't remember but have to check when I get home). How do I o about researching the company that no longer exists? or even the item which I have never seen anywhere else?
