[QUOTE="kristiaan, post: 74845, member: 654"][ATTACH=full]19300[/ATTACH] Here is my contribution; Found it yesterday at a car boot sale . A small china scale with logo of the Grand Hotel Weber. That hotel was build in 1901 by a German immigrant (since 1887 in Antwerp) named Nicolas Weber. Little is know about that person, some say he build it with his savings when working in the previous building, that was a hotel as well. Other say he was rich when coming to Antwerp. Never the less he builded a magnificent hotel, that needed to be destroyed after the V boms raid on Antwerp at the end of the second world war. Four big brons statues(who stood on the rooftop) were recently sold by a auction house over here, for big money. They reprensented the four continents. I love family crests, china with logo's and when related to my home town; I treasure them! |<[/QUOTE]
