[Phono-L] Decorated Gem
I can't help myself... My mother-in-law did toll painting back in the sixties and seventies and it looks exactly like the Gem. If anyone likes, I could show her the photos for her opinion. It looks like a sixties job to me. Wow, that's fifty years ago! Jerry B. ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Re: [Phono-L] Decorated Gem
I think Jerry meant tole painting. I seem to recall he got beat up pretty bad over a typographical error a while back and he took it all very well. Let's just let this once pass. Jerry contributes a lot to the group and to the hobby in general and certainly deserves a break now and then.

It's actually spelled Tole painting and is a form of folk art with pictures on the internet strongly resembleling the Gem phono. Who knows when the phono was painted?? It could very well have been in the 1960s when it apparently was popular. --Art ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

The TOLE painting took a toll on everybody who's stuck with it now! Much like the guilt he felt over the gilt!!! Vinyl Visions wrote: I'll be waiting for my mother-in law. One of my favorite songs...

Re: [Phono-L] Decorated Gem
There's a folk-painting style called 'rosemaling'. I'm not sure if it's exactly the same as tole-painting, but it's quite similar.
