    "VICTOR / APR. 20 1901"

    "NOV 24 & DEC 1??0 / SEP. 28, 97 JUNE, 7?9 / F. M. LOCKE ??????"

    Needless to say, the incuse markings aren't as clear as they could have been, but it's still a nice gift to me from a friend.

    Is this what is called a transposition insulator?

    Anyone know much on this piece?

      December of 1901 saw their company burn.

      This piece was likely to have been made between April and December of 1901 as it has the squared-off applied-crown with no mold lines, which ended in early 1902, and has the April 1901 patent date. The glaze colour also matches perfectly.

      As for its commonality, I dunno. :/

      Gotta love those dated items.

      But dates written do not mean much, I'm afraid, other than "earliest possible" (in some cases, items are dated a year before they're made, though. so.... LOL.)
