Question
I would love to know something about the company Flagg and Homam. I haven't dealt with much pewter. I can't seem to find the name anywhere? It is a vase #131 with a metal flower frog. Any idea of value?

Answer
-

A 2 second search with Google, using the correct spellings (Flagg and Homan) produced lots of hits. Try this for a potted history:

Late, fabricated from sheet I believe, rather than cast, and of no great value.
