First off, Hello! I'm new! anyways:
I have two paintings from my Great Grandma who recently passed away....
Both are from the Illinois Moulding Co. Both have what seems to be an identification code on the back.
G.2350-308 (both have the same number)
Other defining elements of the paintings...
Both have stamp on the back that says "Inspected by 206"
Both have a stamp that says:
Illinois Moulding Co.
Chicago 8, Illinois
Made in U.S.A.
One picture SEEMS too be a water(i don't know the difference between Oil and Water) painting of Kyoto (the cultural center of Japan) and the other is of Gifu (another city)
Not that I wanna sell them - I love Japan actually, and I've been there twice. spent a H*ll of a lot of times in museums. >.< I just wanna know the price on these paintings. maybe the history too.
I'm assuming due to the time displayed on the paintings and the fact that it was my GREAT grandma who had them, I'm assuming they came from the great depression or around that time. And being made in Chicago... im expecting it to not be worth much as that place was one of the huge mass-production cities in America at the time >.>
Edit: I cant read the signature. All i make out are two s's.
