[ From a recent internet search, I believe this item to be originally from an estate sale of a prominent art collector in Cleveland, Ohio.... originally purchased in the 60-70's {from Gary Arts Wholesale in NYC; see label on back} ; I received this in the late 1990's as a house-warming gift from an OHIO relative. ]
