ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MAKERS BY LAST NAME
Below each, in Italic type, is the WHT ABBREVIATION .
[ ] = No. of a mould containing information or other sources, mostly Mr Stalling's papers. I have used abbreviations, sometimes one for more than one word , to save space on my one- page record for each mold - eg "st" for "stamped" or "street" depending on the context. Many abbreviations are listed. But my computer over several generations has swallowed several hundred photos, changed type and spacing so much that the list must be edited for legibility as this list has been and that must wait for another time. Mr. Stalling's papers are not available for general access yet either.
