  ]Hello all, Here is an interesting puzzler. This sterling letter opener has a nice twisted open wire-work handle and looks a lot like something you might expect from, say, Shiebler. I would date it to the 1890s. The mark, though, is rubbed and unfamiliar to me. I can't seem to find anything quite like it in Rainwater. Does anyone have any ideas? Brent IP: Logged |

Sort of looks like Edward Todd & Co. IP: Logged |

You're right, it does. It isn't exact, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be the mark of a later iteration of the same firm. Good spotting! I completely missed it Brent IP: Logged |

My pleasure Brent! Edward Todd born in Plymouth, Connecticut September 18, 1826; married in New York City February 1, 1853 Lydia Alden Giddings born July 1, 1831. There is an Edward Todd "pedling" in the 1850 U S Federal Census for Rocky Hill, Hartford County, Connecticut. George W Mabie attests to the validity of the information on Edward Todd's 1868 passport application which gives some weight to the correctness of Rainwater's first description of Edward Todd & Co's history.
