    Found this weeks ago and finally photographed it. Tried to read the signature and never really could. The first word looks like LaBoca, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Went looking and got that far. The second word looks like it begins with a P.

    Agree re La Boca. A souvenir from Buenos Aires. Word below may be a signature but not sure it matters much as these are mass produced.

    I'm not surprised. This one is made of ceramic, so I'd think less mass-produced than most. I've only got a dollar in it as a curiosity.

    The Souvenir Building Collectors Society! Isn't that fab?

    I do think it reads Guillon. Here's other examples Buenos Aires souvenir plaster produced under name. Signatures vary but bottom piece is signed Atelier Guillon so a workshop, not an individual artist.

    Interestingly, this one is a souvenir from Trinidad, Cuba so produced and exported to at least one other Latin American country.
