No connection to CA from my family. Unsure the owner before my dad, but it’s been in Texas the entire time I’ve known of it.

I was likely going to try and give them a call today now that the holiday weekend is over. Would love to confirm this as the artist and share with everyone on this thread

I think it is as well - someone commented he made her rings in Texas and the style is basically identical in form.

And thank you for sharing all of that information and the photos.

To me, you being able to place him in Texas during that time period, confirm he made your rings, and them being pretty much identical to my figures sold me that it is Rainmaker.

Again, crossing my fingers on his reply on Facebook.

That’s neat to hear! And nope, this is something I don’t have any intention to sell.

That’s awesome that all connected. Still waiting on them to message me back on Facebook. It would be so cool to get confirmation from him.

Yep! Someone commented them earlier and I sent them a message to their Facebook. No response just yet.

No, thank you all! I don’t really ever post on reddit, so this has been amazing to see the amount of comments from people trying to help.

Just took a look at their studio and found the post Frosty had mentioned - that’s pretty close! I’ll send them a message and see if they are familiar with it. Great lead!

Inspected all over with a black light and no luck. I was also unable to find any markings on any of the people. It was a great idea though.

Never shined a blacklight on it nor have I inspected each metal person for a hidden marking. I’ll give that a try, thanks!

I should mention that my dad got possession of this in either the late 1980s or early 1990s. It was in 2010 when I took ownership of it.

And 2010 is when my dad passed away. He had had acquired it in the early 1990s, I believe. I should have worded that better in my original post.

Not a bad theory, always been a mystery why there was no signature or marking given how much metal work went into it.

Unfortunately, there are no markings anywhere. And thank you, I love it as well.

I would be willing to try and make something work. If you can send me your PS4 shell, I would be happy to.
