<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 4321016, member: 308"]I have that book - Luxor is listed in the index as Luxor 1910 (?) so apparently they were unsure of that date. What they found regarding the Luxor line is three vases all similar to yours. The middle vase appears to be yours exactly except yours is more brightly colored. There is no other mention of the Luxor line in the book that I can find. </p><p><br /></p><p>My guess would be that the Huxfords made the Weller attribution in error. The lack of any backup documentation for Weller to have produced Luxor makes me suspicious. And, on the other hand, we have pretty good documentation that Luxor was produced by Robinson Ransbottom. It's always possible that Weller produced it first and Robinson Ransbottom borrowed or bought the molds but without documentation that's all speculation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
