trying to identify makers. can’t make out the writing very well on two of these. Does anyone know what the company names might be?
One 1”x3/4” looks like The Billings and Spence co. ??
The other 1 1/4”x 1” looks like Fairmont Clevs
That’s the best interpretation of what I think I’m seeing.
The big 1 1/8”x1 1/4” is a New Britain
The pictures aren't good enough to decide what they say for me. But maybe Billings & Spencer, been around since 1869.
