Richard Kurtzman Moderator Posts: 768 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 05-12-2005 07:58 PM [01-2304] I've never seen this mark before: B.H.CO. It is on the base of a repousse tea caddy. Does anyone know who it is? IP: Logged

Richard Kurtzman Moderator Posts: 768 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 05-13-2005 11:24 AM Thanks wev. The quality of the chasing on the piece I have is pretty good (not great). I can't find this mark in any of my American books. Could it be Canadian? IP: Logged
tmockait Posts: 963 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 05-15-2005 11:04 PM I found two possibilities, both of which may be long shots: Boardman Hall of N.Y. and Philadelphia, registered from 1845-56 Barbour Hall of Hartford, Conn., established 1890. Good luck, Tom IP: Logged
Richard Kurtzman Moderator Posts: 768 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 05-23-2005 09:51 PM Tom, If you meant Barbour Hobson Co. of Hartford Connecticut, I think that might be a possibility. They were in existence for only a couple of years which might explain the rarity of the mark. IP: Logged
