Any information on Gucci
I purchased a pair of pewter geese at an auction about 12 years ago. I liked them and thought I might make a couple of bucks on them. After I got home I saw that they were marked "GUCCI" made in Italy. My dear Mother saw them in my home and fell in love with them, so of course I gave them to her. She passed away, at age 92, back in 2003 and I ended up with them again. In all of this time I've never been able to find anything about them or any GUCCI pewter or other statues. I was told that it is a common name in Italy. I've googled and looked in books. I doubt if they are very old, just interesting. Might anyone here know anything. Thanks.

2. Thank you so much
Looks like my first clue. Mark looks the same and the feathers on the bottom are a lot like the ones on my Geese. I had paid $35. for the pair at auction. I really just bought them because I liked the form. One has it's head up and the other down.
They are 9 and half inches long and 6 and half high.

3. Just to make sure...
The ad is not associated with the pic I posted.

The ad person you can contact.

The person/place selling the quail is at this link:

And I don't know if you can contact them for more info.

Good luck! :hi:
