ESCO Busts (Pics)
« on: December 30, 2008, 10:55:09 am »
The "island" lady i know is over 50 years old, pristine condition, base has brown felt with 2 tags, Brown/Gold foil tag that says ESCO Products Inc -hand finished art reproductions and the 2nd gold foil tag says Made in Hong Kong.  She came from relatives in FL.  The ? boy is 7 1/2 ", pristine condition, beautifully painted but not as meticulous as the lady. Both the colors are matte.  (I have seen one in the background of a previous post that was shiney -  Has the ESCO foil tag and brown felt.  He came from relatives in CA. (Saw on in background of posted picture on Dec 18 ref Rose Jar - note it's shiney and appears chipped.) There is a new ESCO that only does celebrity busts..but what about vintage/antique ESCO?   Any informative sites and information on these busts?  Values?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  I would have never associated MARWAL with ESCO!  Now I have something to research in all my free time (Ha!)!
