<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 682423, member: 649&quot;]Could there actually be three carvers in play? Two Lam<b>a</b>nts, as shown in your almanac, working in the mid-19th century, and one Lam<b>o</b>nt, mentioned by Burgess, working in the early 19th century...</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the three signatures you show are by the same person, just getting a bit sloppy/hurried with the a/o. The formation of all the other letters is just too similar.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT:&nbsp; Hmmm, in looking at the two Lamant almanac entries, it appears the first one listed does have the first name Julien. Julien is in parentheses and other entries in the almanac show what appear to be first names or initials/abbreviations of first names in parentheses.</p><p>The second Lamant entry has a hyphen: Lamant - Julliot, no parentheses. Perhaps Julliot was Lamant&#039;s partner, not his first name? And perhaps it&#039;s the same Lamant and he works/deals in two different locations?</p><p>Two other entries have hyphens, not parentheses: Burger-Leveque and Riboulet-Goby... definitely pairs of surnames.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
