That's interesting, and looks pretty early too, 1860s or 70s? I've only seen cast iron stove nameplates, that looks like stamped brass

I have been trying to research the company but the only year I see referred to is 1859

There's tons of stuff here, they were still operating in 1892, nice plate for sure...Jim
