Terry will hawk antiques and collectibles donated to the WVIZ-PBS Ideastream benefit auction in Cleveland. The auction airs April 23-26, 2009. Her segments will start around 7 p.m. (EDT) each evening. Check back that week—there will be a link to streaming video of the auction here on Kovels.com.
I sure hope someone can help me identify this mark ... it is a capital N with a C wrapped around it.
It looks like a Newcomb College mark, but people keep telling me Newcomb artists didn't make figurines.
I have two figurines, a set of a boy and a girl on bicycles. The boy and girl are painted porcelain and the bikes are made of metal. There is a small hole on the bottom of the figurines where a piece of metal on the bike slides into it to hold the figurines on the bikes.
The figurines look to be 1940's -1950's in age. I can provide a photo if someone can tell me where to upload it to.
Thank you for adding me. I have several of your books and primitives handed down in my family for generations. I will be watching later this month to your televised auctions...Be blessed.
I will be supporting my local public television station, WVIZ/PBS, during its annual televised auction this month—and Kovels.com will stream the auction live! I will be on the air when antiques are up for auction on Thursday, April 23; Saturday, April 25; and Sunday, April 26, beginning at 7 p.m. each evening. Details to follow soon.
