Bottom is hand written so not likely a factory mark !!  Probably an owners name !!   I would guess early 1900`s !!

Is it women on a shopping spree?  Looks like some are carrying bags and all are fighting the wind (or they are tipsy!)

That's what I thought.  is this an artist rendition of "Shop Til You Drop"?  LOL 

The more I look at it the more I laugh!  I would think this would even be a popular item today if someone takes the time to peruse it!
