 :old:

Goebel seems to have purchased quite a few companies.
Correct me if i'm wrong, Pan Keramik, Cortendorf, and now, Eckhardt and Engler (http://www.yobunny.com/pottery/index.php?topic=10729.msg29420;topicseen#new).

Check this animal out on ebay please...

It has the impressed HR monogram, they are related to Goebel somehow, though I've forgotten the name of the company. I think they are based in China. You'll probably know the signature as they're often seen in charity shops.

I have nutcracker Tongs marked with HMQ.  So many times I see these at garage sales.  I always just buy them.  These are what I mean  Click Here (http://cgi.ebay.com/SET-OF-THREE-OLDER-HMQ-NUTCRACKERS-PLUS-EIGHT-PICKS_W0QQitemZ330306547121QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item330306547121&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50). 

I read somewhere this design was styled for Her Majesty the Queen, so all these style made like this bear the HMQ.  I hope that is right?  Either that or I have lots of tongs here for nothing... :-\

I can't answer TC  :tgs: question though.....

I've never heard that before Rose, how unusual. Something we'll have to investigate methinks. ;)

I think i was talking about the HK mark, it stands for Harvey Knox and i think the animals were marketed by Goebel but are made in Japan. The larger ones are worth the most, although i have no clue how much, here's a large fox...
