Royal DoultonFounded in 1815 by John Doulton and John Watts, Doulton & Co. has long been…
Both items are post 1940 because the HM numbers are just time blocks. For 'Marie' the time block is 1930-1988, and for 'Ivy' 1936-1979. I believe both pieces were made after 1954 because from 1928 to 1954, there would have been a small number next to the crown indicating how many years you must add to 1927 to get the year it was made.
look at this article for future collecting of these: http://www.drloriv.com/appraisals/royaldoulton.asp
Shane, thanks so much I will go and check out what your collecting.....this are founds in aunts house, that she gave me..........I have so much in storage now, I can bearly get door open....take care stay in touch with me on my finds...
i beleive that shane is correct! thanks for sharing.
Thanks everyone....I am glad I am not having to pay today, I would be broke or broker.....lol
Shane, not all Royal Doulton figures made between 1928 and 1954 have the date code number. It's a bonus when the piece does have it.
Hey Paul, sorry missed this, what does this mean, they are different then??? I am sending that box to you this week, finally getting a few days coming up of rest.
no, just means that not all RD figurines were "lucky" enough to get the date code. Handwritten HNs were done before 1959; after that they were printed. So your figures are pre-1959 for sure.
Looking forward to that box, Wing...I'll let you know when it arrives!
Thanks Paul, this week has been a week I will never forget...lol.....catching up is hard sometimes when you ony have a few days....lol email me your phone number to put on Fedex...they require a number.....duh.....thanks
Season's Greetings to you and Yours, wingletts!
