No. There is no other marks. Just the 'TX' inside the oval.

I think that may just be a reflection from the glass. Sorry for the bad photo.

Antique Questions Forum / Makers Mark on Brass Vases

« on: July 07, 2014, 11:33:39 pm »

Hi all,

Sorry for another post. But I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to track down the manufacturer of these vases based on these makers marks. I have searched the net, but with no luck.

This mark is identical on both vases.

Any help appreciated.

Crafter.

Thanks for your reply's. It is very hard to get a clear picture of the markings.

It is 'TX' inside a small oval.

Hi Cogar,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have spent many hours doing many and varied Google & E-bay searches just as you did. However, most searches only come up with brand new steam models that are for sale as a new item.

However, I know for a fact that this is at least 70 years old, and maybe a lot older. I was hoping someone on this Forum that specialises in collectable items like this would be able to give me some direction as to the best sites / organizations to continue my search.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Crafter.

Antique Questions Forum / Old Steam Train / Steam Roller

« on: July 06, 2014, 10:00:42 pm »

Hello,

My father has had this Train / Steam roller since he was a child, he is now 71.

He is interested in its where it was manufactured and if it is a collectable item. From what I can see it has flame elements underneath that heat the water in the main tank creating steam. It also has a 'Lever' which we assume is for forward / reverse gear selection. However we are unsure.

Any advice much appreciated.

Hi Mart,

Thanks for the reply. There is nothing written on the bottom of the bottles.

Sorry... After closer examination there is a 'TX' (Or it could be 'TK') in the glass on the bottom.

Hello,

My father inherited this drinks decanter set 30 years ago. It plays the tune "Auld Lang Syne" when the lid is opened.

I am interested in it origin, as well as its value.

Thanks in advance.
