I have hijacked my husband's Ebay account to put up some items that must be cleared out! I have been selling for years under the name Margeauxchanning, but I've been helping a friend sell her vintage items. So, for accounting reasons, I'm keeping our items separate. Check them out!Meanwhile---I have had this mixed bag of brass (bronze?) letters for at least 10 years, and FINALLY I dragged them out to sell. If any of you are from Italy and want to buy them all, they spell GENOA.This auction is for the letter, O. Yes, you're buying a VOWEL! These look so wonderful on a shelf mixed in with books and other treasures. From the dimples back of the letter, and the texture at the corners of this letter, I'm thinking it's sand-cast. DO let me know if I'm wrong!It measures just over 6 inches tall, and 6 inches across, but check the photos I took with the letter next to a ruler, and you'll get a precise idea of the sizes. You can see in the next to the last photo that this E is more than a 1/2 inch thick.It was on a building somewhere-- don't know what kind.I bought these letters from a high end antique dealer who had a garage full of things she was liquidating. I kept thinking I would use them to decorate but I never did. Many thanks for looking and I LOVE to combine items to save you shipping costs!
