Hello everyone. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I just finished up with 30 radiation and 5 chemo treatments for lung cancer. I have 4 weeks off until new chemo treatments start. Everything is going per schedule except one chemo treatment which was cancelled.
I feel good and will celebrate by going to the Elks tonight for a bump and a steak.Wes

A belated Merry Christmas to all. My family will be getting together on New Years eve to celebrate Christmas. Everyone is getting older with their own things and priorities. One highlight of the holiday was a large group of carolers from my church ( about 35) visited my house and sang Christmas carols to me for about 15 minutes. I was humbled and surprised.

I don't have much on E-bay as it has changed a lot. I also miss Bill's buying adventures as he is no longer with us. I do hope that he is having greater adventures to enjoy.

-
Wes posted an update Tuesday, Oct 2, 2012, 9:52am EDT, 11 years, 7 months ago
Hi again... I have found the following info in Kovels.
This mark was used on pottery made at the Etruria Works in Trenton, New Jersey, from 1863 to 1894. The pottery, Bloor, Ott & Booth, was founded by William Bloor, Joseph Ott, and Thomas Booth in 1863. Booth retired in 1864 and John Hart Brewer, Ott's nephew, became a partner in 1865. The company name became Ott & Brewer after Bloor retired in 1871. The name "Etruria" copied the name of a pottery established by Josiah Wedgwood in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, in 1769. The crown mark further promotes the image of English-quality china. Cretona is the name of the pattern. Large Cretona vases sell for about $150. -
