Question
I saw an inquiry regarding an asparagus picture that is marked with MANGER with a large M under it. I also have two pieces from Meiselman Imports, Mancer. Each piece is a cookie jar type in the shape of a store.  One has BAKE SHOP written on the front, with the lid being the roof; and the other has COFFEE HOUSE, with the lid also being the roof. The number written below the Mancer stamp is K2103.  Was wondering if you were able to find out any more infomation?  Best, Cheri

Answer
   Cheri,
I'm not an expert on marks, but here's a site you can try for a start;

There are lots of sites similar to this you can search online. Also, Kovels are my favorite, most reputable antique folks. They have thousands and thousands of marks to search from. Good luck,
