Third and last entry from above source, page 207: referencing David Stearns Stevens..."During the later 1840's that grandfather had, they said, worked in the Cowles spoon factory at Granby ("Spoonville"), and married Elizabeth Benjamin of the Spoonville neighborhood. Along about 1848 ...

One on-line seller has a page from Graphic weekly during 1916 and mentions Camp Jacobs in the title...somehow prisoner of war related. Cannot read the text in the sole image to confirm anything. Not getting any other hits for this camp name.

Another great reference for the search engine! "Barrel Shape" , "Barrel-shaped" mark.

Similar combination guild mark/date letter appears here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=32028&p=107190&hili ... wn#p107190

Not conclusive.

The 49 Maiden Lane address proves occupation from 1830 with Esterbrook Steel Pen, 1836 for William Gale and a long succession of names through W.H. Saart Co. in 1909.

Another patent report in 1920 gives the form Weber, Wagner & Benson, New York, NY with no Company or Inc. following..again on hollowares.

A patent application filed in 1919 gives the proper name of Weber, Wagner, & Benson, Inc. (not Co.) as still in use. This was on sterling wares, I believe holloware items as listed. Are they operating two organizations at once?
