doc Posts: 728 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 10-05-2004 04:27 PM I have a Wood & Hughes spoon (mark dates it from 1871-1899) and it has a retailer's mark of Brennan & Davis. Any information on the retailer would be appreciated, IP: Logged

Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 10-07-2004 12:28 PM I came across this reference for Montpelier, Idaho: "City of Montpelier Walking Tours, including the actual site where Butch Cassidy and his gang ran off with $7,165, the Burgoyone Cafe, where two bandits were shot and killed during a gun battle, and the Brennan-Davis building, where wet blankets were put on the windows to preserve the structure during a fire in 1905; all other stores in town burned down at that time."

bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 04-26-2008 05:03 AM This is a revived post. John R Brennan and Moroni J Davis were likely late nineteenth and definitely early twentieth century Montpelier, ID merchants dealing in merchandise and stationary. In their situation fancy goods were probably part of their inventory. John R Brennan was born in New York in August of 1857 to Irish parents. Moroni Jefferson Davis was born in Idaho on 24 September 1864. What a good catch Patrick Vyvyan! It looks like Patrick Vyvyan stopped actively participating in the forum in 2005. There are a lot of excellent posts under that name. What a shame. IP: Logged
