Monograms

[ROBBYBOBBY64]

Ya know Robby, I have also noted that and wondered....When DID it become bad luck to mount them open end down?
....curious....curious....

All superstitious so most likely in the 1800's. I just guessed of course.

I hope a couple of others might prime the pic posting...
a real nice and ornate plate from Phillipsburg, N.J. "H.M.EILENBERG"


..and a simple but elegant monogram from Hoboken, N.J. "JOHN LINDNER"


I like them both equally for different reasons...
Opinions?

I too, like them both. Monograms with three initials in my opinion are harder to decipher. Sometimes hard to tell what the initials are, but yet cool in the design. Monograms with only two initials are a lot easier to read.

is that the Sanduskey Cleveland Brewing Co or something else embe?

Pretty sure that name was mentioned, rings a bell for me.

Not the most interesting one out there but the only one I have on hand at my current location that’s not in storage mind the dirtyness I found this last year on the banks of the lamprey river in NEWMARKET nh when they drained it to work on the dam where it had been underwater for the past 90 to 100 odd years

Bump...

Ok, I said bump.... but, I actually want to post another few pics on this subject...



Interesting about the first one (three pics) Henry Haurand, Plainfield, N.J. The monogram logo is CBW Central Bottling Works, not his initials.

Next two pics are F.J. Smock & Co. Red Bank, N.J. He was smart and didn't try to get the F & J into the monogram (it would have been nearly impossible to understand)

next pic is a simple Phillip Muller, Hoboken, N.J. I really like his stylized but simply elegant P & M

Lastly are two pics Jens M. Jensen agent, Perth Amboy, N.J. a highly stylized crossed J's over M.. difficult to figure out

monogram madness in march! It's going to be awesome Baaaaby!
