Questions & Comments

do you know anything else about it? is it hand painted, where did u find it?

Mar 6th, 2011 at 3:31:24 PM PST by

i believe it is hand painted (oil) from yrs of condensation it looks as if the paint has collected in tiny spots. but you can still see the bright coloring of the people. the top dome is plastic with deep edging with gold paint. the bottom is heavy black plastic. i got it from an estate sale so i dont have any paper work with it.. so i dont know more!!

i'd get it as a b-day gift for someone but somehow i get the feeling they couldnt appreciate the artwork on this.

are those chips on the mirror in the third picture? thanks

Mar 7th, 2011 at 12:40:35 PM PST by

no the glass of the mirror is intact. it is the silver coming off. im guessing from the condensation over time.

Just for general info....I was watching Antique Roadshow a few years back, and they were addressing the "antique" classification deal. According to them, when something is 20 years old it becomes VINTAGE, and when it hits 70, then it's classified as a true ANTIQUE. They also said that cars are a little different. When the car is 20 years old it becomes vintage, or CLASSIC...and when it hits 50, it then becomes a legitimate antique. These guys are supposedly experts....of course you must remember that THEY are the ones who says they're experts. Ha! Anyway...I just thought I'd pass that on....for what it's worth.
