<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 427484, member: 54&quot;]Your photos at the top of this thread were degraded by the use of a light and reflective background.&nbsp; They cause the object to appear too dark to see detail.&nbsp; If they are auction house photos, not your fault, if you took those photos you wasted much time and wasted billions of digits.&nbsp; I usually use brown cardboard from a flattened or disassembled corrugated carton as it is somewhat of a desirable dull, neutral background.&nbsp; Please post more professional photos on objects you wish to have analyzed, your photos are a “turnoff” in some ways.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your wooden objects, the steel hanging rings were applied at time of manufacture, and an experienced antiques appraiser will be able to give you a range of years in the 20th. C. when that type of hanger was in use, perhaps when they were first made.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess on probable timeframes of manufacture of those statues is 1960-1990.</p><p><br /></p><p>Three of the other bidders in the house were likely in collusion as shills, multiple shills are much more convincing than only one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
