Tall Art Nouveau Vase

Tall Art Nouveau Vase

 Tall Art Nouveau Vase Tall Art Nouveau Vase

Description:

I purchased this piece 20 years ago from an antiques dealer. The vase stands 21" tall and 6" at it's widest. The vase has branches, leaves, flowers and a large fly to decorate the piece. These are brass and have a wonderful patina...with the exception of the flowers. Someone decided to paint/antique them silver. The vase under-decoration is the old decalcomania with a clear glaze over. The vase originally had a note stating it was made by Clement Massier and was exhibited at an 1898 or later exposition. I misplaced the note. There are only under-glaze pencil type marks and nondescript scratch marks, and I think a couple of numbers on the base.

Description:

This is an old, black, 2" x 3" metal flashlight. The tag said the owner's father had it with him at a race track when he saw John Dillinger.  Dillinger scratched his name onto the back of the flashlight.  I'm attaching 3 photos of the flashlight, including a "wanted" poster I located online with his signature and an early signature from a reformatory that might be of help.
