<p>[QUOTE=&quot;msgood2shoe, post: 257221, member: 69&quot;]The multiple blanks isn&#039;t necessarily an indication of hobbyist work as Schleiger documented many different decals that were used on different blanks.&nbsp; She keyed on the decal, then added a letter if the same decal was found on a different blank, or in different colors than the first example she encountered. </p><p><br /></p><p>My first impression on the decoration was possibly hobbiest, but then I noticed the double mark on some but not all piecesm which as Don said indicate that the pieces were decorated at the factory.&nbsp; However, since only some of the pieces have a decorator mark, that leads me to think hobbyist painted is likely. </p><p><br /></p><p>If hobbyist decorated, one explanation for the double Haviland mark is that the blanks were purchased with gold decor, but no decal, and the factory added the 2nd decorator mark when the gold, was applied[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
