[Mccoypottery-talk] Re:Violin Wall pocket and Mr. Peanut Cookie Jar

[Madonna Kay Webb]

Betty
I have a couple questions,  I am new to this and I don't know what HNH is??
I believe this violin wall pocket has been painted over it appears to have
white and pink under gold paint.  The paint is not in good shape on this
wallpocket but there are no chips or cracks.  They were my mothers I found
them all wraped in newspaper and when I was unwrapping them the part of the
paint came off and exposed the paint or color under the gold paint that
appeared to cover the whole violin.  I have two of them.
Thanks
Madonna
