<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 538619, member: 6444&quot;]It seems to me a logical supposition. There was a lot of cheap labor in China in the 70&#039;s-80&#039;s, so the work would have been done by hand by default. Not unlike carpets or starving artist artwork that was done as piece work and to replicate given patterns, but none-the-less handmade. It wouldn&#039;t make sense to buy and program an expensive machine to produce work that was going to sell cheaply and could be made more cheaply by hand. A piece like this wouldn&#039;t have been expensive in its day, any more than it is expensive now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today it is different, of course, as machines have taken over more and more of what used to be hand production and there are probably more factory machines in China than there are in the US or Europe. Do you want me to remove this from the frame?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
