I took another photo and placed Mäxi next to it, so you get a better idea of its size (and a new Max pic as bonus ;)):

Awww! There's Mäxi!! I absolutely LOVE that dog! What a cutie! :-*
Yes, our chairs appear to be about the same size Chrissi. I'm glad you finally found it at your Dad's house. I used to sit in our little chair all the time as a kid. It was my favorite place to sit while watching TV. Well, that and the laundry basket, but we don't need to bring THAT up again! :laugh:
Thanks for posting the pictures of your chair and of Mäxi too! He's such a cute dog. :)

David, dont ever think you are weird or physco for the feelings you have around these items of your mums. It shows with true certainty, that she is with you always. You are very fortunate to have so many memorable items.

I would too! That's so interesting how they were all smuggled out of former East Germany. That's a very interesting story and a fascinating piece of history. Please take some pictures for us Chrissi!

--- Quote from: Kerry on April 29, 2009, 08:37:40 am ---Though it's only an old armchair, with no intrinsic value whatsoever, it's priceless to me. I very rarely sit in it, David. Occasionally, but not often. And it's located in such a position in the room that no-one else ever sits in it either. Like you, I'm sure I'd be none too pleased to have someone else sit in my Mama's chair.
Some time after Mum passed away, I found one of the other plates that had belonged to my grandmother. I found it in a store near my place of work. Not the actual plate itself, but an exact doppelganger. It was the same as the plate my brother, who lives in Perth Western Australia, had taken. Now there's only one more plate to get, to complete the reunion. On the back of this plate it has a crown and a scroll, with "Mason's" above the crown and "Ironstone made in England" inside the scroll. Under the scroll it has "Mandalay" as well as two sets of hand written initials.

You have so many beautiful plates Kerry. And the stories behind them are very beautiful as well. :)

This little dinner bell has a memory or two for me. I'm not really certain how old it is. I know it is AT LEAST as old as I am.
I first watched "It's A Wonderful Life" when I was very young, and I always remembered the line - "every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings". So every time I went past this little bell I'd ring it over and over again hoping to give another angel his wings.
The bell has 1944 stamped inside of it and nothing else. I don't know if that is a date or a mold number.
