There doesn't seem to be any info on the web about the company, and I also checked ads selling Air Flex items. Nobody knows nuthin'.....

Maybe vintage and maybe not - that particular mark was used beginning in 1955. I would hazard a guess and say 1980s, give or take some years. Not possible to nail it down to a specific year.

No, not with that lobster clasp. Made not earlier than 1992. Not being magnetic only means there is no ferrous metals used in it's production. Can you edit your post and add a close up of the hang t...

Don't know a thing about it other than it's gorgeous!

Looks to be a typical export piece - the English language and the fact that the mark is put on with a rubber stamp. Not possible to tell you who made it. The Chinese letters are probably the equivalen...

A great buy! The mark is not obvious, but I found it.

Hi all! Been fine, just off doing other things. Scouring the flea markets and thrift shops for things overlooked by others in their hurry to find something "great". I did find another ring just like ...

LOL I see you already know who it is...time for coffee!! :-))))

We still need to see what the reverse side looks like - you can edit your post and add another photo.

Hi All! I'm baaaaaaack.....

freiheit - oh loads more fun! I dragged those necklaces around for two years at the markets trying to get rid of them. A woman who sold at the same summer market as me was complaining she was getting ...

That's a great find, indeed!

Vaga International was based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. That's about 2 hours from my house. It's possible that the pottery was received as a blank from Italy and decorated at Vaga. Unfortunately, ...

Well, that's different. Is part of it Lucite?

@racer - my friend gets all sorts of interesting items in her shop. Only the really great stuff gets saved from the melting pot.

Gorgeous color! Congrats on your find. :-)))

Many of these sorts of toys are imported from Asia. Most likely Rabbit fur.

Really pretty! It's wonder these sorts of glass items manage to survive intact.

How cute is that!

A simple Google search of TM & MGA gave me this link: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20060331005227/en/MGA-Entertainment-Introduces-SODA-POP-GIRLS-TM

@Toyrebel: LMAO

Mystery solved!!

Oh Johnsmith, you are clever fellow!! I was looking on the name printed on the bowl for info....explains why I didn't find anything!

LMAO @Pascale!!

@lizzycbw - yes, glass.

You can upload a free magnifier to your smartphone which will help you to make better close ups. The mark looks like a running man.

@lugnuts - thanks much, but I know all about numerical gold marks and what they mean in regard to metal purity. Waarborg is the Dutch Assay Office. I might just have to email Waarborg to see if ther...

lizzycbw - it's VERY annoying!! Have not found it anywhere yet....boooooo....

I posted one two months ago which is very similar to yours, but with a bronze Lion's head.

Hey Hippie Guy! That is a great belt.

@racer - LOLOL!!! I was really surprised that they missed the marks. I picked it out because of the construction but had no intention of examining it in front of Andrea, the shop owner. I just put it ...

Hey val - yes, this one is a keeper because the design is out of the ordinary.

When costume jewelry still had class.

@Collectables59 - you're not kidding. Many of them seem to think they are selling antiques and put on stupid prices. Some of the items which ARE valuable also have stupid prices - but TINY ones. Fine ...

Good find, Alan!

Have not seen one like it before - nice!

You are finding some great stuff!

I didn't even notice - still adorable!
