THe "Key" is Trimont Ware!   You know......the little label on the fruit......gold and black......They imported in 50's to 60's!!!!

We had the same fruit as a centerpiece in early 70`s !!  So his timeline of 50 years is about right !!  1950 to 1970 !!  This company imported a lot of ceramic ware !!

So, the general conclusion seems to be that its from the 1950's-1970's.  I take it the value would be fairly low, about $15-20



Thanks for the help y'all!

If you are going to sell on ebay,, I would  hit some thrift stores and find a vintage basket or bowl to put them in !!  Even an inexpensive silverplate as long as it has a vintage look !! People tend to buy if its already complete and they can just use it as is !!  Selling the fruit alone,, if they don`t have something to put them in,, they would have to buy one !!  It saves shopping !!  Just my experience that something that is complete does better !!  Of course ebay is a crap shoot what ever you decide to do !!
