Pewter Bear
Posted on Wednesday, April 26th, 2006 at 5:28 pmI have a small globe, probaly pewter,bearing the inscription nguan kwang heng / swatow. Anybody info on it.?
Very interesting. It’s Chinese, and probably at least 50 years old since it bears the old spellings of Chinese words. It says it’s from the town of Shantou, Guangdong Province, in southern China. (Swatow is an old spelling of Shantou.) I’m not sure about “Nguan Kwang Heng.” It may be the name of the company that made it.
