There's a listing for an Alexander Handcock, British,
1853-1932. That might be your guy.
Go down to the the library, it's near the corner
of Willow St. and Wharf St. there in Tauranga.
Ask the librarian to show you the art reference books.
If you guys are going to run an auction company,
you are going to want to learn how to do this stuff yourself.
By the way, what did you get for the Lalique vase?
