Merrymobile Guy 56 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Does anyone else have this municipal piece? It is a single, double-sided piece. I bought it at auction today. Just looking for info/history. Thanks!! Kelly 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did Garrison Wagner actually make some of their own products? I was under the impression they were just a distributor. I just always assumed these were early GP because as far as I know, no other company made these large municipals in this style. If these are GW produced or made by another more obscure company, that would be really neat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel Fischer 416 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Garrison-Wagner did not make their products, the Santa and bell wreaths shown in Sam's picture were indeed make by GP but they are not the same as what Kelly has. My guess would be that Kelly's were made by GP but at a earlier date then the ones in the G-W broadsheet. The ones in the Broadsheets and G-W catalogs that I have are double sided with the same on both sides, not a Santa on one side and the bells on the other. Mel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merrymobile Guy 56 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Mel, I know anything is possible but do you think someone may have taken pieces from 2 and used on a single piece? Mix/match? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel Fischer 416 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Kelly, that is definitely possible and I wondered about that myself. The only way we can know for sure is to hopefully see catalog pictures or advertisements showing yours. Possibly David (WLND-David) might know something about yours, he has done a lot of research into the municipal decorations. I have sent an email to him with the link to this thread as I see he hasn't been on PC since November 20 so he probably doesn't know about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WLND-DAVID 101 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Found them in the 1958 General Plastics Catalog..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel Fischer 416 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 David, do you have any information on the double sided one in the first picture in this thread? It is different from the ones in the page that you posted. Mel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
