Had a couple as well.  Still have one to play all the old records (Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass, Mitch Miller, Ink Spots, Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, Andy Williams, Monkeys, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cat Stevens, The Who, etc.)  Now I need to go get it out and play them.  Just love that scratchy sound!  LOL

Is there a way I could go about putting a value on this if  I want to sell it?

Antique Questions Forum / Re: PATENTED IN 1894 - ANY IDEAS ON WHAT THEY ARE ?

Well, I guess I'll put these aside. Maybe they are just a mix of different pieces that someone put together for home decor. The label is what threw me off. That's why I though they were reproductions etc.

I did research patents granted with the date of March 13, 1894 and found pliers, voting booth, something to feed hogs - nothing for ewers, granitures or urns....Guess I won't be selling them for awhile!

With respect to these pieces, I was notified by another site that this is an "unidentified pattern by Thomas."  Hopefully someone might be able to help us out with these.

While you are waiting for your response, I thought I would mention a website called www.replacements.co m . They offer replacement pieces for old and new dinnerware- china, stone, crystal glass, silver, collectibles etc. They have a FREE email service if you send them a photo of what you're looking for they will identify the pattern for you.

It's a great service with a gigantic inventory. It has been great for me in searching for old silverware patterns.

Is anyone familiar with this Baylor radio phonograph. Works by electric and/or battery. No company markings or labels besides the words as shown -
Baylor
Portable Radio Phonograph

In my research I found Baylor in Japan and their 1950s/60s product line was transistor radios. Nothing about any combination items.

Thanks!

I finally found this exact vase. It sold in 2009 on ebay but the neck had been repaired on that particular one. Thanks for the replies!

Do these look like urns or ewers to anyone? I've been trying to figure out what they are and why they were labeled Patented on March 13, 1894.  They are about 15" tall and when tapped on with your fingers they sound like they are made from some type of metal...reproductio ns???

 I have a double neck vase marked Marcello Fantoni for Raymor. It is one of the mid century modernist vase's with the familiar 6 women design. (Photos attached)

After researching on the internet I found lots of information on him, the signature with for Raymor but I wasn't able to find a Marcello Fantoni double neck vase in this pattern. Does anyone know or can you refer me to a possible resource that would help me confirm the vase is definitely one of his. Thanks for your help.

Antique Questions Forum / ASIAN Makers Marks ..Can anyone help me??

« on: September 20, 2012, 03:38:16 pm »

I wonder if someone could refer me to a source or tell me something about the makers marks in the photo. I have a book on foreign makers marks but there's nothing like this. I'm trying to find out if its an individual or mass produced printed design. Thanks for any assistance you can give me!
