This has me stumped

Post by legrandmogol »

I'm Sure its something simple but I have no idea what it is. It is only marked C or G H Stockwel(l) who is the retailer (not sure where they are located). The pattern is Imperial by L. Boardman Son c.1900. (the company was gone by 1907 I believe)

C.H. Stockwell....Listed around 11 S. Ninth Street in Philadelphia circa 1899: https://books.google.com/books?id=YXQoA ... b]PA26&lpg[/b]=RA5-PA26&dq=jewelers+c.h.+stockwell&source=bl&ots=QiUMpOJ6tn&sig=ACfU3U1oBTcumibEI-jO-0GGtdq3-N-vfw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwisjPmxhvXmAhVPpZ4KHTrxAvkQ6AEwAXoECAUQAQ#v=onepage&q=jewelers%20c.h.%20stockwell&f=false

Looks like a puller rather than a pusher...so maybe some form of cheese rake (not the kind for making cheese)??
