Turkey Meybauer TWM

[Richard Gordon]

Just like to present this Meybauer example that came my way.

The enamel is quite dark compared to the others I have and the arms much more simple in design.

Not a silver model but clearly marked with the Meybauer crest and sporting the classic Meybauer style pin.

As shown here with my BB&Co (top right) and '800' example, the Meybauer is much darker!

Thanks Rick!

So far, at 21 views and looks like only me and Rick are enjoying this one.

I just found this thread - and I'm a big fan of the Turkish Star . I really like the textured background detail under the red enamel and 'clean' silver edging of your latest star. Beautiful.

Scott,

I'm pleased it caught your eye. I think the simplicity of the edge gives it a cleaner look.

Hi Rich,

A very nice example indeed! Are you sure it's not echt silber though? I ask because it certainly has the look to it (unless you can see some tombak bleeding through somewhere?) and Meybauer almost certainly did not mark all of their silver made awards with silver content marks.

Regards

Hi Mike

There is some exposed tombac on the reverse on the very tips of the arms. Very little but enough to see the base metal.

i really DO like how the light plays off of the variegated enamel.

it's a cherry instead of a strawberry, but it sure is sweet! nice star! :cheers:

Cheers Eric!

Meybauer made ones aren't common. With three in your collection, I can imagine you'll want a Godet example, and even rarer ones? It's hard to stop with one or two nice ones, and three could be tempting to build into a larger mini-collection all of it's own....

Nice ones.

Les,

you hit the nail on the head! My first was the BB&Co, then the '800' Austrian example. I've seen Godet's, AWS and JH Werner examples up for sale which I would love to add but they are oh, so expensive! I'm always on the look-out for nice pin-backs.

Another little obsession.
