    When I saw this plaque in a consignment shop/flea market, I thought it was a representation of Samuel Clemons better known as Mark Twain but I haven't been able to confirm it. Is the name/signature on the bottom right of the plaque, the name of the person depicted or the Artist of the plaque? It is a heavy plaque that measures 4" across by 1/2" thick and is made of cast iron or pewter. Can anyone read the name or recognize the fellow depicted. RER(BOB)

      Very good kyratango, I knew who he was just had to verify his signature. My father used to tell me stories about him when I was a child.

      I would never have been able to read the name....thank you very much kyratango! What a life this fellow had and what a Career. He died in New York City in 1941 so he is also important to Americans. Great !!

      You're welcome Bob, the ski at the end of his name and the unique P had me thinking, but wanted to be sure.
