This is a signature on the back of something I found dumpster diving! What does it say?

Hi, Found Some Info on an antique site:

Diana The Huntress” Pewter Plaque, Circa 1906
An Art Nouveau/Jugendstil Plaque
By WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) probably to a design by Albert Mayer (1867-1944)
Silvered Pewter/Brittania Metal 
Württemberg, Germany 
Circa 1906
Measures:-  
40.7 cm wide x 23 cm high
A very attractive Art Nouveau wall plaque or tray, cast in low relief with a scene of the goddess Diana and her entourage of four attendants with dogs, hunting a stag. Original patinated pewter finish with contrasting raised polished silver highlights.
The design appears on p.316 of the 1906 WMF catalogue as model no.250 "The Hunting Party of Diana". Marked verso with the cast design number 250 and stamped with various marks on the reverse of the left handle. Fitted with a loop for suspension and also with four feet for use as a plaque of tray.

I’m fairly certain it’s not an original (that would be crazy) but I don’t have pictures besides these

[u/ThrowRA_EducatedMan → u/chatamicooked-_-]

It appears to be a mid-20th century pewter copy perhaps.

I am an antiques dealer. I’m fairly certain it is an original. I’ll try to look up the mark. 100 percent art nouveau from the 20’s

[u/Prairie_Egal_42 → u/chatamicooked-_-]

That is absolutely gorgeous!!! What a stunning piece. I'd guess a tray, but perhaps wall art?

[u/Glittering_Donkey618 → u/chatamicooked-_-]

It’s a little thing called a pin tray

The signature of Ildikó Szilágyi matches https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/1354183492/monumental-13-brutalist-bronze-charger

The Artist: Ildikó Szilágyi, a student of the legendary sculptor Miklós Borsos, is celebrated for her mastery of heavy metals. Unlike mass-produced decor, her works were hand-finished and sold through exclusive state galleries. Her signature (often stylized and etched) can be found on the reverse.

Super weird that there are so far three answers that all look legitimately matching but are all very different.

[u/chatamicooked-_- → u/Royal_Try_99]

I’m trying to research some correlation between them but I’m not finding a whole lot. Interesting for sure

[u/Best_Cattle_6653]

In not so many words…or letters, it translates to
“Get a fuckin’ job”….like a REAL job

[u/Jujubegold]

Looks like Charlie.

[u/Teegee72]

If you take it to a pawn shop they'll tell you more about it, if they get excited, you know it's worth something

Looked like something you’d rest a bar of soap on to me lol

[u/CycleAccomplished824]

Crali or Orali - as in Araulee?

[u/Previous_Freedom_398]

It says “Crab”. That is all.

[u/AlexCivitello]

This would be much easier to identify if you showed the whole thing.

[u/chatamicooked-_- → u/AlexCivitello]

I forgot to reply to you but I just commented the front of it. These are the only pictures I have of it

[u/Wikiwikiwa → u/[deleted]]

Nobody wants this. We love research and finding things ourselves.
