    This was brought to America from Germany in 1923.
    Can anyone provide any more background?

    Hi Michelle:
    It might help if you posted a picture or had some more info.

    Hit "Reply" button. Type in what you want. Hit "Choose File" button at the bottom of this window. Find the file on your hard drive. The file name should appear next to the "Choose File" button.

    Then hit "Add Reply."

    Thanks for trying to help, but there is no "choose file" button that I can find. "Browse" will locate picture on my hard drive but that disappears when I preview or send?

    I am now using my PC and yes, the button is the "Browse" one. Follow the instructions above and use that button. After you find the file you should be able to see the path in the window next to the "Browse" button. The hit ADD REPLY and the picture should be in your msg.

    Here is one picture from Michelle. My gut feeling is that it is made by Strunal (Czech) or one of the numerous factories in Catania, Italy.
