Charcoal under glass.  5' high by 3 1/2' wide.  Antique glass is warbled and has bubbling.  Portrait in excellent condition, signed and dated: Mary Ball '99 (1899)

I have 4 Tony the Tiger cereal bowls and 3 Toucan Sam cereal bowls. I noticed on the bottom of each bowl, there are 2 words misspelled - NOUSEWARES instead of Housewares & MTCROWAVE instead of Microwave. They are all in pretty good condition - some paint worn off on the inside of the bowls, 1 has a chip on top rim & 1 has a chip on bottom rim.

It is an 1899 model. 17 Jewels. Size is 16. Plate is 3/4. Grade no. 625 That's all I can tell you.

Thanks, Dan

Bought it from a neighbor who sold almost of her belongings and moved in the 1960s.

I have been trying to figure what this was for years! Mideastern? African? A friend even thought it might be a nose ring for an Ox....

Hope someone can help.

thanks,

Athena
