This Diego painting was purchased in 1970 for my 21st birthday. It was purchased in Ramstein, Germany.

I foundthis old Frame and photo in an attic of a home my brother bought

in Vermont 4yrs ago.   The only markings I can find on it is a label on the

back that reads WILMARTH & SON GLENN FALLS N.Y.  Is there anyone out

there that knows of this company?

I have this very old teddy made in West Germany for the Sears and Roebuck CO.

I have been trying to find out any info on this teddy what seems like forever

is there anybody out there that knows anything or knows of somewhere I might be able

to find out something of this teddys worth.

Thank You

Please read all the Accurate Casting blogs and scroll down each blog to see what a “Moderator” keeps repeating (he has answered everyone’s questions — you must read — see paragraphs below).

These lamps are not antiques, do not have any value, and are a safety hazard!

Accurate Casting Co. was “NOT” the manufacturer.  They only produced the metal parts for three larger lamp factories.  They were located in Offshore China (Taiwan).  The company was founded in 1972 and was taken over/closed around 1986.  The main export country was the U.S. as all European countries already had product safety regulations in place, which did not allow such appliances.

Accurate Casting Co. and the three larger lamp factories swamped the U.S. market but fell short on achieving the same on the European market as those segments by then had installed higher security levels for household appliances (shock, injury, and fire hazard)!

Many U.S. import lamps were afterwards independently checked by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and received evaluation stickers (maximum wattage, etc.) where applicable.  These stickers have mostly fallen off or were removed by cheating sellers trying to hide the real “age.”

Even when thinking that today’s security standards are far higher than they where back then, the lamps are still dangerous.  Damaged insulation due to sharp cable duct endings or plain material fatigue, hairline cracked parts, and busting globes due to overwattage of bulbs are other hazards.
