Title: GOLD OWL SIGNED ANTHONY
Post by: agreeneyes on April 13, 2011, 07:50:37 PM

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me something about this signature Anthony on this owl.  My question is who is Anthony?.  I've researched this and have found many designs with this gold look that are signed by Anthony USA and in the description they also refer to Freeman McFarlin.  I'm unable to locate the name Freeman McFarlin on the owl but it does say Anthony USA and the number 112.  From what I've found this appears to be a collectible item any information would be greatly appreciated and also any idea of the value,thank you

thank you so designs made by Maynard Anthony Freeman were signed by Anthony?. So with the signature of Anthony on my sculpture does that mean Freeman made it, and does that also mean this dates late 1960's to early 1970's before the business was sold?
