Maker's Marks

Some pictures cannot be enlarged and so are not clickable because the original picture is too small. The images that are clickable open up in a new window so to get back to this page all you have to do is click the "x" or "red button" at the top of your browser.

       The marks may be cast with mould, embossed or intaglio. If they are cast inside on the drag they may be reversed in order to readable on the surface of the mould (please see title marks). They may also be Stamped into the mould after it is cast. When a mark is raised on an ellipse for emphasis as an Egyptian hieroglyphics we have called it a Cartouche.
       Whether or not a mark is Cast, Stamped, or on a Cartouche will be noted under the description. Other notes concerning the mark will be in ( ) under the description.
       These are ordered by Last name, First name followed by the abbreviation in italics. If it is a company or partnership then it is simply that followed by the abbreviation in italics.
      The Cadot et Cie marks have extensive information given by Stallings and so is included on a separate page. The Letang's also have extensive information that is found in the Makers by Last name section.
