Antique Questions Forum / Re: World War II - V for Victory photo - Look familiar?

Thanks everyone for your input.  I'm fairly certain it's a print, and I've included a photo of the lower, right-hand corner which shows the initials.

I know this isn't something that's gonna bankroll my daughter's college education     But, I thought it interesting, nonetheless.  I do tons of estate work and run into some crazy stuff.  

My best -- Susan

« on: December 01, 2013, 08:18:10 pm »

Hi, friends!

Stumbled across this.  It's in a high-end frame, which got me to thinking it might be something <lol>

In the lower, right-hand corner are the initials H.V.R. with the copyright symbol.

In the lower, left-hand corner is printed "V for Victory" with three dots and a dash beneath it.

Anyone seen anything like it?

Came from an estate.  Dearly departed has no known military service.

Your kind advice is welcome

Hi, friends!

Stumbled across this photo that is displayed in a high-end frame (which got me to thinking).

On the lower, left-hand corner there is a printed statement:  V for Victory (and, underneath it, three dots and a dash).

On the lower, right-hand corner the initials H.V.R. appear with the copyright symbol.

Found in an estate; dearly departed has no known military service.

Any thoughts?

24 tubes are 1.5" long with an opening .5" wide

Curiouser and curiouser...

Hi, it's sfenster (Susan)....thanks for all your feedback today! I'm not a dealer, but help people handle the remnants of mid- to large-estates.  Through the years, you think you've seen just about everything, and then you stumble on an oddity like this one.  I will provide dimensions on the object the next time I'm at that house. Someone in my family suggested a flag holder (mid-size), but that cigar idea is intriguing. 

As for my location, I'm from western New York but an affirmed Anglophile. 

Me thinketh another disastrous year for thy Buffalo Bills.

Again, thanks for the kind welcome and the help :-)

Hi, all.   Any thoughts as to what this might be?  Made of sturdy metal and stands upright.  Nary a marking on it.  Some have guessed a lollipop display, but haven't seen another like it.  Ideas?

Thanks!  Susan
