outwest Posts: 390 Registered: Nov 2005	posted 03-04-2006 03:19 PM Thanks, Tad. The seller was from the New York area, too. But, I thought Fellows included the A. in his punch? [This message has been edited by outwest (edited 03-04-2006).] IP: Logged

Belden does not show the mark for Abraham but shows it for James Fellows stating it may be the mark of Abraham Fellows. Von Khrum lists Abraham but this book does not list marks. Tad IP: Logged
