Jack,

Top Left and Bottom Right are Jody Fine.

He only signs some of his special stuff.

These are regular production pieces.

Top Right is a Cuneo Furnace (Steven Maslach).

No signature here either.

These are regular production pieces.

Bottom Left is unknown to me.

All four are very nice!

Sincerely,

John McCormick

Top right could be Jody Fine. He doesn't sign the little things. then or now. Most signed even in the time period yoi speak of. I looked to see if they were Sonny Miller or Fred Wilganoski. They don't sign. I don't recognize them. Edna

I don't think Steve Maslach has ever signed anything, old or new (torn between him and Jody Fine on the upper right one too). And I don't believe it was quite as customary 15-20 years ago for marble artists to sign their work as it is today. Almost everyone does now -- although some signatures can be tough to find or see, now that more artists are using a titanium pen instead of engraving.
