<p>[QUOTE="Mattiques, post: 128076, member: 1282"]Thanks guys. Only just managed to get back on the forum, been down for a while! Been doing some more research and it's a Japanese piece. Well, it's japanese figures like you said, so I'm presuming that it's japanese. Unfortunately the writing on it is unreadable. I've asked someone who reads and speaks japanese and they cant decipher it. I'm wondering if that effects the value? Could it be a tourist piece so it didn't matter what the writing said as the buyers wouldn't know and/or care as was about the "look." Though it's thrown me a bit. Looking at the cane and feeling it etc I believe it to be 1880-1900 but I'm worried about the writing? Though I suppose it could still be a tourist piece being that old? </p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas or help would be appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers guys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
