Mystery Prints
« on: January 20, 2020, 08:05:06 pm »
At least for me. I have tried to find these online, so many times, so many ways, but apparently I am missing that one word that will get me these as what they are: Prints. Every search gets me figurines. To be fair to search, they look like figurines.

So, my first post is a request for help. And "Hi".  :)

Adding, I am new, so perhaps the images are here, but don't show in a preview? I going to post and see, I guess.

I should add that there is no information on the prints. Nothing. Zip. Plain white backs.

Many of these "Southern Belle" type prints were by Turner Manufacturing Co. from Chicago, and date back to the 1940's.

Agree  - brownie points for Rauville.

I know in the past I have found some sites and couldn't find them again because I hadn't saved the sites.  Hopefully that is what happened or they have gotten busy!

OMG! Thank you, Rauville. I can't begin to say how many searches I did using the actual photo, and lucky me, got to look through a lot of figurines.   :D That is just amazing, and a relief. It's just nice to know what these prints are, other than two prints that hung in the basement my entire life (which probably saved them from fading).  :)

Thank you, KC, for at least giving me a chance.  :)

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been on forums for years. The one thing that kind of bugs me, even if I understand it, is the poster that comes back after an hour, maybe a day, with the remark: "Nobody?" or "Is everyone ignoring me?" or "Bump!" etc... I am not that person, so I gave it time before I checked back. I admin three boards, sometimes that means I am away from boards that simply interest me, etc... So you are right, I didn't ignore, I simply gave it time for someone to respond. I had no idea there was a set response time limit that I agreed to.  ;)

Thank you, mart. Yep, lots of days like that. I am still cleaning out my mother's house (3 years and counting), sorting, tossing, researching, saving... on and on... plus getting a loan to purchase the place. I can't begin to say how many times I have fallen asleep at my computer, or yes, shut it down and realized I forgot to send an e-mail or tweak some code, or whatever.  :D

Hi there and welcome to the group !!  Glad I am not the only one that  falls asleep at the computer !!  Nice to know at least one other person does the same thing !!  We are not a rude group,, but we have many that post and never return !!  Or if they do they never say anything !!  Generally someone will respond to posts the same day !!  But that is not a hard and fast rule depending on the difficulty of the question !!  Remember we have to research sometime too,,,a lot of heads are better than one !!  We each have our  own little niche so we  can help find the answer to most questions !!  Mine is furniture from 1850 to about 1970 ,, KC is French antiques and Victoriana,  Rauville knows almost anything you need an answer to,,  Cogar is excellent on antique glassware and Ghopper collects Victorian everything !!
I hope you decide to stick around a while !!  We are a family type group and do enjoy helping others !!

Hi mart, and thank you for the welcome.  :)

I have my computer and my tv attached to a rolling table, which rolls up to my couch, which can be too comfy if I am sleepy. Some nights I wake up leaning back from the table, tv on, computer asleep and me thinking I should have just gone to bed.
You know furniture? I should take a photo of a table that was my mother's, passed on to her from her aunt or her mother, who got it from their mother. At least, that is what my mother always told me.
Yeah, it takes time to find stuff. Which is why I didn't worry about coming back right away. If someone knew what they were, that would be great, if they didn't, I would be no worse off than I was. Thankfully, someone knew.  :)
I'm just gonna ask, do you frequent Kovel's?

Anyone here know jewelry? Just kidding, most of what I have is costume jewelry. Though I do have one piece that I got from my step-grandmother, that I cannot figure out. oh shoot. All of this reminded me that I forgot to take a photo of my grandfather's patented... wooden box. I can't remember what it actually is, other than a wooden box. I wanted to look up the patent number. My poor brain.  :D

Welcome back Elara and welcome to the forum!  Wow!  Sounds like you have entertainment on wheels.  Are you in USA or Europe?

Glad to see there are people out there that have life outside the forum!  LOLOL  😃

Over the years we have seen many that ask questions and never return or read the help and never reply.  Irregardless...we have a fine/fun set of people that like to help out and stretch our brain cells.

I know a "bit" about jewelry. 

We look forward to seeing your treasures and having you share your wealth of knowledge here!
