I believe I read in this thread that Michelini had a shop where he would sell other carvers&#039; cameos- am I hallucinating? Does someone have Michelini&#039;s signature to post for comparison. I have seen several cameos with signatures that could be deciphered as Michelini on cameos that are not very detailed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if established artists who had shops signed the cameos that they purchased for shop inventory? This would explain the 2 signatures. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
