Charleton AWCO figurines
« on: July 23, 2011, 10:02:53 am »
I bought these two figurines at an estate sale yesterday and I was wondering if anyone has any inormation on them. I know they were made by a company called Abels, Wasserberg, & Co and the male figurine has a sticker on the back that says "Charleton Hand painted 3970"
I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about these figurines, perhaps if they are worth anything (other than what I paid for them)
Thanks.

You have some very nice figurals there !!  Cambridge, Heisey, Limoges and others had hand painted glassware by AWCO. Your pieces could have good value !!  I googled  Abels, Wasserberg and Co. and found lots of info on their Charleton line.
