A special piece has been released to celebrate the new millennium. The globe comes in different colors: a grayish color, a medium blue, and a darker blue. The globe is glass, and the banner is ribbon. The bottom stamp is printed in gold.
The dove is glued to the globe. During shipping many of them came off the globe, or the globe was off the base. Some dealers returned theirs, and others glued the globes back to the bases, or the doves back to the globe. The candles in each hand are glued, and collectors have reported they, too, come off easily.
A dealer passed on a tip to solve this remedy by buying glue at any auto supply store for car mirrors. However, she cautioned to make sure you have the piece exactly in the right position because once it touches the glue you cannot reposition it. The glue also dried clear.
Maybe: F & F also commemorated the year 2000 by using it in the piece's item number 89/2000. The bottom stamp is also in gold ink shown in the 3rd photo.
Below is a photo of the postcard A World Of Good Wishes. The postcard was mailed by Linda Anderson's Collectibles to customers on their mailing list.
The bottom
photo shows a different version on the bottom of A World Of Good Wishes.
Not only is the bottom stamp in gold but there is a black backstamp with Dean
Griff's signature. This same signature was done on A Treasure of Memories
but with a red backstamp. It is referred to as the "Signature
Series" because of the special signature. Approximately 180 pieces
were done with this special stamp mark.
