<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 9761104, member: 17332&quot;]As promised, here are some pics of a cameo I purchased recently. It is signed C. WILD on the right side. There is nothing on the back. It is quite large,&nbsp; 2.25&quot; × 1.5&quot;, and heavy. It does not look like it was ever set. It is hard to capture in pics, but the carving is quite 3D. The brown flecks in the hair and moustache are part of the stone, not dirt. I did some research, and the Wild family were operating in Idar, just like Carl Hahn. I think C Wild is Carl Wild or perhaps Constantin Wild. I found some references to the Wild family and there are active Wild gemstone stores in Idar-Oberstein. I plan to go there in May to do some research on my 2 cameos. If anyone else in the group has German cameos that they might want more info about, PM and I will see what I can dig up while I am there.[ATTACH=full]480127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480128[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]480129[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
