i found the link below, it doesn't help a lot but it shows the only time I could find that population was in 1570, it would help if you know the maker of the cards or when they were made.

The three crowns indicate the item was made in Sweden (if they are within a trefoil)
or imported (if within a circle). You should also make sure there are no numbers on it which would indicate how much silver. I found the information on the link below.

Antique Questions Forum / Re: need help finding info on old gas sign purol ethyl

« on: September 10, 2008, 04:46:18 pm »

I dont know alot about gas but I found a simular sign by the same company just for a different named product that sold for $525.00. I will attach the link, hope this helps. Also I found this

 "1924 - Walter P. Chrysler, as head of the Maxwell Motor Corporation, introduces an auto bearing his name, which was so successful the company changed its name. A California innkeeper opened the first "motel." General Motors and Standard Oil Company of New Jersey jointly formed Ethyl Gasoline Corporation to make and sell the new additive, tetraethyl lead.....which just gives you a lil company history.

Antique Questions Forum / Marwal Ind Inc Chalk Statue New Pics

« on: September 08, 2008, 04:28:15 pm »

I have recently come across a antique koi table. The fish is 2 ft tall about 18 in wide, the tail arches up to hold the small table it has. Its all one piece, the table is small, about 10in by 14 in and is slightly tilted for some reason. It has a stamp under the table “Marwal Ind Inc” I have been trying to research this name and the few things I can find are mostly heads and busts, nothing to the magnitude of this fish and nothing this oriental. Can anyone give me any info at all it would be helpful. [/color]
