Marv Melton is the one who was selling them on eBay back around late 2003, early 2004 and he was the one who claimed in his eBay ads that they were some piece that was secretly made at the HK plant in the UK. I'm not saying anything one way or the other about that. The reason I remember is because I spent way too much buying one of the pieces from him.
The piece itself was created by an artist named Brian Baker. He got together with a couple and ran a company called Bumbershoot Studios in Tampa. Victorian Village was one of their dealers and apparently took some sort of an ownership stake in them towards the end. The web site went down in 2007 and is now owned by a different company,
If you are ever looking for an old web site and can't find it, there is a wonderful historical group that has been preserving Internet history since the very early days. They have quite a few cool sections on their web site, one of which is called "The Wayback Machine." You can enter a URL in the search box and it will return a number of web site snapshots for every year the site was alive.
To find this wonderful place, visit www.archive.org.
Beware though, you just may end up losing many hours on that web site.
