Looks like the same artist here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/255275-sculpture-little-girl-with-flower-by-l?in=activity
The same Al Smith was governor of New York State and later president of the company that built the Empire State Building. The Longchamps chain signed a lease for a location in the ESB in December 1937...
I’m sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute and legacy you’re carrying on.
Possibly Viarme (France)?
Cool! Happy to help solve a mystery.
The writing on the front says “kotobuki” which means longevity and is used as a salutation like “to long life” (like “salud”) or “congratulations.”
The signature is A. J. Barrish SM. That’s Brother Joe Barrish, a Marianist Brother, artist in residence at St. John Gallery in Dayton OH, and assistant professor of fine art at the University of Dayto...

There’s an Argentinian artist named Elena Castellanos with depictions of similar gaucho subjects in the same style online.
This site offers an appraisal service, separate from the show & tell.
It says “mercurial ointment”
There’s an artist named Ali Golkar who sometimes went by Alireza. His current work looks much different but this yours is early and might have represented a different style for him. It’s worth reachin...
I agree with AnythingObscure’s opinion- those are Art Deco elevator doors. Beautiful hippocampus motif. Great find!
Yes, that’s a vintage GM Pontiac Indian Head hood ornament/radiator cap.
Thanks dav2no1. The image is nearly identical but the signature appears very different between the two. Do you know anything about its origin?
That’s not Einstein’s trunk- it’s Amelia Earhart’s! At least we’ve found her luggage...
Thanks guys. I’m glad the brand is back. I’ve added an update on the trunk’s provenance above.
Thanks Newfld!
Thanks guys!
Quite possibly. There are large Japanese and other Asian communities in the area where I picked it up, and the painting does seem to have an Asian influence. Thanks.
