How much is this worth?

[bigwull]

You mean the runs!

Nae cookie fur you G,acre....

[Rauville]

Looks simple enough to me: You've got the Lady with a cookbook on her lap, a horse behind her, and what I'm sure is a waffle iron laying at her feet.
It can only mean one thing; Someone is going to be enjoying breakfast in bed, with a course of waffles and a side of Kazy.



Disclaimer: OK, OK, I just made this all up.

I don`t believe I have ever cooked breakfast like that,,,,,well maybe,,,,but not in the winter !!

Good way to get splatter burns! 

Waelkd, can you please describe what the underlying material of the plaque/tile is?  Your picture is so large that it is hard to tell what it is.  It appears as resin but it could honestly be stone/marble.

Can you please post another picture of the entire piece (Front and back sides) and give the dimensions?

I can't get the last letters in the artist's name. Chap?

[Dogaman]

It looks like "Chapry".  But every first initial I pair with it, I can't get a hit.

This person was also a conductor. I question if it's him.

This is close to yours. Shown is "Allegory of Truth". But looking at your pic and that shown at the sites, I think it is just your camera angle that threw me off.

Well done you...Muttley....yo u get a cookie...

[bigwull]

as this is made of marble, it should be quite easy to remove the paint,..the paint medium will be one of two types, it,ll either be acrylic..or cellulose...acrylic is easier to remove, you can use a water washable paint remover,...if you are unsure, you could contact a stonemason who specializes in making headstones, and they will be able to tell you,

Thanks, Wull. BTW, what or who is "Muttley"?  I remember Mutt and Jeff!
