Title: pewter haugrud norway, does this mean anything?
Post by: shanny on May 18, 2009, 08:20:41 PM

I have made some head way with this piece that is vase like with crosses all over, pewter/silver color, and on the bottom it has Pewter Haugrud Norway # 306. I can't find this particular piece on any websites that claim to have the other pewter pieces. I would just like to know the date and value if possible. Not to sell, I love my antiques, and due to the passsing of my great aunt I got a few more. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. Shanny

Arne Haugrud AS
Elverhoiv.8
3113 Tonberg , Norway

These folks started in business about 1940 .
Right now , they export directly to Denmark , Finland , Germany , Sweden & the U.S.
They sell a bunch of products in Norway too .

It's a well-recognized brand , and perhaps contacting the company will get you info "from the horses' mouth" about the exact piece you're checking out .

Then again , a forum member here might just have the same thing @ the tip of their fingers ...
