For this, you would have to ask an appraiser about the estimated value of the item. emg62https://www.blogger.com/profile/01258415170657017172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983035772269748684.post-50185538982508376572020-01-30T06:32:09.647-08:002020-01-30T06:32:09.647-08:00They still used the JB mark.

Once the casts were sold they were not truly Jennings Brothers originals. I will have to see if I can find the details of the sales of the casts. However, if I recall the cheaper, later replicas should not have the "JB" insignia.emg62https://www.blogger.com/profile/01258415170657017172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983035772269748684.post-34093206265432339042014-02-13T09:23:27.605-08:002014-02-13T09:23:27.605-08:00Thank you for the info.
