Provenance |
This paperweight was associated with Roy's office (American Brass) and bears Roy's initials- "RJH". (Roy was Rita's husband and from the Kenosha Danish community.) Assuming this was made by the American Brass Company the dates are based off of active dates for the company. - J.Olsson 5/2/16 |
